The European Commission adopted a European Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy in January 2018 and will develop requirements to ensure that all plastic packaging in the EU market is reusable or recyclable in an economically viable manner by 2030.
FEA’s vision for plastic aerosols fits into this strategy. Translating this vision into action, FEA launches a voluntary initiative which intends to transparently demonstrate the transition of the aerosol industry to fully recyclable plastic aerosol dispensers.
Currently PET aerosols dispensers placed on the EU single market usually contain metal valve components. The European aerosol industry commits to replacing these with PET aerosol dispensers that contain no metal or non-floatable plastic components except PET, and which fully aligns to the European PET Bottle Platform (EPBP) Design for Recycling Guidelines.
