A program recognizing innovations in product design and technology promoting plastics recycling is accepting nominations through October 31.
The APR Plastics Recycling Showcase, developed by the Association of Postconsumer Plastic Recyclers (APR), will focus on recently commercialized innovations developed by APR members that have a positive impact on the ability of a package or container to be recycled. As an international trade association representing the plastics recycling industry, APR works to provide leadership for long-term industry growth and vitality. This program is part of APR’s continued effort to address technical challenges facing plastic recyclers.
Possible candidates may include the following types of recently commercialized technology: Packaging products, processing equipment, recycling process step, bale capability, collection or supply capability for postconsumer plastics, and PCR products, products with high PCR content or applications of PCR.
“Showcase recipients will be selected by an APR board appointed selection committee comprised of APR members that represent a variety of roles within the value chain,” stated Steve Alexander, APR’s executive director.
