Recycling and waste management are of ever increasing concern in today's consumer society and our capacity to recycle waste is directly reliant on our ability to lower contamination levels and ensure consumer safety. Using novel analytical techniques, this project aims to characterise contaminants found in recycled PET and identify the source(s) of this contamination. Ultimately this will lead to a reduction in recycled PET contamination levels, and allow a more complete recycling process. The global objective being to generate enough relevant scientific data to assist Visy in its endeavours to achieve higher levels of environmental performances and sustainable product development.

在当今的消费社会中，回收和废物管理日益受到关注，我们回收废物的能力直接取决于我们降低污染水平和确保消费者安全的能力。利用新的分析技术，该项目旨在检测回收PET中发现的污染物，并确定这种污染的来源。最终，这将降低回收PET的污染水平，并实现更完整的回收过程。全球目标是生成足够的相关科学数据，以协助Visy努力实现更高水平的环境绩效和可持续产品开发。
