Packaging, in 2020 ricicleranno to 83 percent News

You recycle more and more, packaging and 2020 Conai, the Italian national Consortium that collaborates with the Municipalities because the materials coming from the separate waste collection are well recovered and recycled, provides that, in the course of this year you will recover 83 per cent of the packaging.

The specific Plan for the prevention of Conai for this year, provides that the percentage of start recycling is to increase to 71.6 per cent. In the course of the year just started, the amount of packaging used in Italy should reach up to touch the 13.6 million tons, the growth margins in terms of recovery and recycling are expected to be encouraging.

The 2020 will probably record a new record in Italy: Conai provides almost 11.3 million tonnes of packaging recovered, equal to 83,2 percent of the consumed, of which 9.7 million tonnes started in the recycling, i.e. 71.6% of the marketed.

"In 1998, when it was instituted Conai, the percentage of recovery and recycling was less than 20 percent," says the president of the Consortium Giorgio Quagliuolo. "Since then, the quantities of packaging waste avoided the landfill are always grown. Between 2003 and 2004, the percentage of packaging recovered has exceeded that of packaging waste disposed of in landfills, and the growth has never stopped: for 2020 we expect an improvement of the overall performance. Let us not forget that Italy has already virtually achieved the recycling targets set by the European Union in 2025: five of the six packaging materials, we have exceeded the percentage required. Missing only the plastic, but we're back to just a few percentage points and we still have five years."

specifically, you plan to start a recycling 382.000 tonnes of packaging steel, accounts for 78.8 percent of the entered consumption; up to 53,000 tonnes of packaging in aluminium, compared with 74.6 percent of the entered consumption; 4 million and 65,000 tonnes of packaging paper, l’81,2 per cent of the marketed 2 million and 24,000 tonnes of packaging in wood, 64,7 percent of the entered consumption; a million and 122.000 tonnes of plastic packaging, the 48.1 per cent of the marketed; and $ 2 million and 62,000 tonnes of glass packaging, the 81.4 per cent of the marketed.

"the Results that, for Conai, have a value more positive than" numeric " said the president Quagliuolo. "In a context like the present one, in which we feel a dramatic lack of facilities and we are witnessing the collapse of the value of secondary raw materials, waste in the first place, the system, the consortium continues to support the recycling industry by demonstrating the effectiveness of its role of subsidiarity to the market. We think of the fact that, in 2019, are indented in agreement with the system almost 600,000 tons of material from the collection, that are not absorbed by the market, which have, however, found an outlet to recycling."
