-How sustainable is recycled plastic, really?
An increasing number of fashion brands – including Prada, Stella McCartney and Adidas – are using recycled plastic to up their green credentials. Vogue looks at why it might not be such a sustainable fix.
Recycled plastic is in fashion right now, whether it’s eco-trainers or ready-to-wear pieces by luxury brands. Prada has committed to using only recycled nylon by 2021; Stella McCartney has set a goal of using just recycled nylon by 2020 and recycled polyester by 2025; and Marni and Preen both used recycled plastic bottles in their spring/summer 2020 collections.
-BEVERAGE INDUSTRY TO INVEST $100 MILLION TO GET “EVERY BOTTLE BACK”
The American Beverage Association and its three biggest members are working to improve bottle recycling rates with a new $100 million program to modernize infrastructure and build public awareness. Petrochemical Biotechnology PEF
Despite the proliferation of recycling bins everywhere from offices to airports to street corners, only about a third of plastic bottles produced in the U.S. actually get recycled. That’s a number that the American Beverage Association and its three largest members intend to increase with a major new initiative.
-Lenzing lowers 2019 outlook due to weak market, low viscose prices
Austrian fibres producer Lenzing lowered its 2019 targets as it reported a slight third-quarter miss due to a challenging market environment with historically low viscose prices.

-New report lays bare EU plastic crisis
A new report published on Wednesday (6 November) reveals that 40 percent of plastic products are garbage after less than a month, and that the current recycling systems in Europe cannot cope with such volumes of waste.Petrochemical Biotechnology PEF
Keeping in mind that about 99 percent of all plastics are made from fossil resources like oil, gas, and coal, the greenhouse gas emissions from the plastic lifecycle production threaten the ability of the global community to keep a global temperature rise below 1.5C.

-Agr International Inc. introduces new in-the-blowmolder inspection system for PET containers
Agr International recently introduced its latest in-the-blowmolder vision inspection system, Pilot Vision+. This product is configured and positioned to meet the quality management requirements for high-speed PET bottle production, with a special focus on containers with high percentages of rPET.Petrochemical Biotechnology PEF
This system is designed to work in conjunction with today’s high speed reheat stretch blowmolding equipment and can be used along with the Process Pilot® automated blowmolder management system. The combination of Pilot Vision+ and Process Pilot provides bottle producers with the ability to detect random occurring defects and manage the process to maintain precise material distribution on bottle designs of all kinds.
