PET full loop - kick starting the UK recycling capability to close the loop on all PET packaging

这个由威立雅领导的合作项目将开发和展示英国首个双PET瓶和托盘回收设施，能够在闭环系统中回收100%的透明刚性PET。根据英国塑料协议，该项目和由此产生的设施将实现以下创新：* 英国第一条托盘和非食品瓶专用回收线的试点，释放英国托盘回收能力，避免食品瓶降级为较低等级的应用。包装制造技术的发展能够将这种新的rPET等级纳入新的托盘和非食品瓶。*提供食品级PET瓶回收工艺，采用最先进的技术，实现食品瓶中100%的回收成分。*开发和部署人工智能驱动的“数字孪生”设施，以支持生产线的设计、调试和运营优化。为了实现上述目标，威立雅正在与联合利华、Charpak和HSSMI合作。

This collaborative project led by Veolia, will result in the development and demonstration of the UK's first dual PET bottle and tray recycling facility capable of recycling 100% of clear rigid PET in a closed loop system. In line with the UK plastics pact, the project and resultant facility will achieve the following innovations:* The piloting of the first UK dedicated recycling line for trays and non food bottles, unlocking the UK tray recycling capability and avoiding the downcycling of food bottles into lower grade applications.* The development of packaging manufacturing technologies able to include this new rPET grade into new trays and non-food bottles.* The delivery of a food grade PET bottle recycling process, implementing the state of the art technology to achieve 100% recycled content in food bottles.* The development and deployment of an ai driven 'digital twin' of the facility to support the design, commissioning and operational optimisation of the line.To deliver the above, Veolia is partnering with Unilever, Charpak and HSSMI in the consortium.
