    InnovatingPlastics Key Insights from 2023

    As we transition into the new year, let’s reflect on the news of the previous year, particularly in the realm of innovation and sustainability concerning plastics. What significant developments unfolded in 2023, and what lessons can we derive from them? Let’s take a look at the key takeaways from 2023.

    Collaboration and Partnerships

    One notable achievement is that there are more featured brands listed on InnovatingPlastics than there are news items. This shows that we are working well together and that we recognize that innovation and sustainability are not individual efforts but require partnerships and close collaboration.

    Focus on Material Sustainability

    Many product innovations in 2023 have prioritized the sustainability of the used materials. As plastics have proven their worth, we start to recognize that in many cases, changing away from plastics is not necessarily the more sustainable option. Therefore, there is fast growing focus on the use of bio-based plastics, circular plastics, recycled and also recyclable plastics. Innovative use of recyclates can be seen across various sectors. Traditionally in Automotive and Retail, but we are seeing a lot happening in Food and Pharma.

    Increasing Recycling Facilities

    We are witnessing a significant increase in the construction of recycling facilities worldwide. These plants, both for mechanical- and chemical recycling, are emerging rapidly. As a result, we are not only recycling a larger volume of plastics but also a wider range of plastic types.

    Addressing Plastic Waste

    Although recycling efforts have contributed to a reduction in plastic waste, more needs to be done. Plastic consumption continues to rise, posing a challenge. To combat this, we must improve waste management and recycling infrastructure while also promoting awareness and consciousness among individuals and companies. The collaboration between the plastics industry and governments is crucial in driving this change.
