New PRE Dissolution Taskforce: Pushing for Circularity with Innovative Technologies 

Plastics Recyclers Europe established a new Dissolution Taskforce to reflect the technological advancements in the industry, following the collaboration with DROP-IN - Dissolution Recycling of Plastics Initiative. Its creation has two main goals: to shape policies that enhance the recognition of dissolution recycling and to ensure a level playing field among all recycling technologies. 

“The new Dissolution Taskforce is a great addition to the scope of work of Plastics Recyclers Europe. We are confident it will translate into the broad recognition of dissolution recycling and its potential”, said Jim Armstrong, Plastics Recyclers Europe’s Board Member and Dissolution Taskforce Chair. 

Dissolution recycling refers to technologies that recover polymers from plastic waste through a solvent-based physical recycling process, aiming to maintain the integrity of polymer chains. ​ The PRE Dissolution Taskforce aims to promote the potential of this flexible physical technology to offer both environmental and economic advantages, while also supporting a circular plastics economy alongside mechanical and chemical recycling. 

Companies engaged in dissolution recycling are welcome to join Plastics Recyclers Europe and its new Dissolution Taskforce to share their expertise and contribute to supporting a circular future for plastics.
