The Confederation of Danish Industry (DI) pledges 202 412 tons recycled plastics used in 2025 on behalf of our members in the food industry, personal hygiene and other industries. This is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to demand for recycled plastics in Denmark in the coming years, but availability and quality of recycled plastics ultimately determines if the pledge will be met.

VinylPlus commits to recycle 900,000 T of PVC/year by 2025, a significant contribution to the 10 million T objective by the Commission, and 1 million T/year by 2030. Representing the entire value chain (resins & additives producers, converters, recyclers) it responded immediately to the Commission call for voluntary pledges from the plastics industry. VinylPlus recycled 5 million T since 2000.

Our goal is for all plastic packaging to be recyclable by 2022, and all plastic packages to be produced from renewable or recycled raw materials by 2030.

A 1 million tonne increase of recycled post-consumer polyolefin waste in European products by 2025.
