Plastic recycling and recovery

Currently, just 9% of plastics are recycled worldwide. But global production is increasing all the time, dominated by China, followed by Europe and the countries of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Without proper collection and recycling, plastics affect our environment, harm the planet and have a long-lasting impact on ecosystems. We have to act now, and provide the appropriate solutions.

 In 2023, Veolia recycled 46,000 tons of plastics in the Chinese mainland and all PCR materials have been validated with food grade.
 

On March 2, 2023, Veolia officially announced in Shanghai the launch of PlastiLoop in the Chinese market, collaborating with partners for  promoting the Ecological Transformation in China.
