PlastiCity is looking for companies in Ghent that want to play an important role in the recycling of plastic industrial waste. Discover the advantages here.

Collection, recycling and reuse of plastic company waste

PlastiCity, a European-funded project running in Ghent, The Hague, Southend-on-Sea and Douai, is testing the viability of collecting, recycling and reusing plastic industrial waste that is not yet recycled. European research shows that the recycling rate for plastic industrial waste is still too low (around 20-30%). Especially in cities, such as Ghent, there is a lot of plastic industrial waste available. Yet these 'lost' plastics can play an important role in a circular economy.

Here's how you can play an important role in recycling plastic industrial waste

Every company in Ghent can play an important role in recycling industrial waste. You can do this in 3 ways:

• Waste streams: You are prepared to have samples of your plastic industrial waste collected.

• Use of recyclate: You want to test to what extent you can switch to using recycled plastics (both in your own production and in the production of your plastic suppliers).

• Connecting services: Your services can facilitate the transition from linear to circular plastics.

What are the benefits for your business?

Recycling plastic industrial waste has a number of benefits for your business:

• Differentiation and image building: you can differentiate yourself in the market by using more recycled plastic and/or through better waste handling.

• Future-proof: you prepare your company for the increasingly strict waste standards (e.g. to avoid fines) and market expectations (e.g. for public tenders).

• Free of charge and without obligation: you are given a unique opportunity to make use of the expertise of the PlastiCity partnership, without any financial or administrative requirements.

• Growth: PlastiCity enables you to plant seeds for the future growth of your services and products within the Ghent ecosystem of plastics.
