Higher EU aluminium packaging recycling targets mean more reform required for \u201cUK Counting System\u201d <\/em><\/h3>\nCommenting on the Circular Economy Proposals, which were published by the European Commission on 2nd December, Rick Hindley, Executive Director of the Aluminium Packaging Recycling Organisation (Alupro) said: \u201cAlupro welcomes the higher targets for recycling of aluminium packaging in the European Commission\u2019s revised circular economy proposal.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are encouraged by the proposals to improve recovery of aluminium. However, we are not yet convinced that the UK system will allow us to demonstrate achievement of the targets and indeed continue to drive up recycling performance. The revised targets will mean the UK government must review the existing system and we look forward to actively participating in that process.<\/p>\n
\u201cAluminium is a perfect material for the \u2018circular economy\u2019 as it can be recycled over and over again without any loss in quality. The real challenge, as with all other packaging materials, is to engage with consumers to get them to collect it \u2013 an essential element of the circular economy. Alupro looks forward to working with government to find effective ways of ensuring that even more material is captured and reprocessed.\u201d<\/p>\n
