New and free datasets for recycled plastics in Europe have been published. The datasets were developed by GreenDelta and the data was collected from European recyclers by Plastics Recyclers Europe as part of the PRIMUS EU Project, funded by the European Commission. The work was reviewed by external experts from VTT, Finland.
The datasets include cradle-to-gate and gate-to-gate inventories for the following recycled plastics:
- rABS
- rHDPE
- rHIPS
- rLDPE
- rMPO
- rPET
- rPP
- rPVC
in flake and pellet forms.
