In Switzerland, a significant shift is underway in the dairy industry as milk bottles transition from polyethylene (PE) to polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
Since the summer of 2023, PET-packaged milk products bearing the blue and yellow logo of PET Recycling Switzerland can be returned in a dedicated PET collection, initiating a closed-loop recycling system. This move aims to promote a circular economy, addressing the limitations of PE bottles, which are not recyclable in closed-loop systems.
Consumers are urged to follow updated recycling instructions during this transition phase to ensure proper disposal and recycling. Jean-Claude Würmli, Managing Director of PET Recycling Switzerland, applauds the collaboration among competitors in the industry, united by a shared commitment to sustainable practices Polymers prices
To maintain high-quality PET recycling for milk bottles, compliance with recycling guidelines and financing through an upfront recycling fee are essential. Producers meeting these conditions can use the PET Recycling Switzerland logo on their products. This logo designates that the PET bottles containing milk products must be placed in the dedicated PET collection, while other plastic bottles continue to be deposited in the plastic bottle collection.
The technical demands of recycling PET beverage bottles containing milk products are being addressed through investments in sorting and recycling facilities, such as the recent expansion of the PET sorting plant at Müller Recycling AG in Frauenfeld.
These advancements ensure that after the transition phase, PET milk bottles can be efficiently recycled in a closed-loop system within Switzerland, minimizing transport distances and further enhancing environmental sustainability in the Swiss dairy industry.
