Plastic packaging recyclability in a Nordic context by Briedis, Rebecca,Syversen, Frode Pdf

Tests of plastic packaging in Finland and Norway exposed products that are lost in the sorting process and are not recycled. Products that proved challenging to sort or recycle were then presented to their producers. To assist producers in making favourable decisions, fact sheets with design guidelines were developed for common plastics, HDPE, PP, LDPE and bio-based and biodegradable plastics, to highlight which design choices best help improve recyclability. These also include Norway-specific information on the downstream value chain for plastics. Producers have shown a willingness to improve their products to increase the level of recyclability. These developments show how higher recycling rates of plastic packaging can be achieved by supporting Nordic producers in implementing design for recyclability principles when designing their packaging.

Economic Policy Instruments for Plastic Waste by Magnus Hennlock,Malin zu Castell-Rüdenhausen,Margareta Wahlström,Birgitte Kjær,Leonidas Milios,Eldbjørg Vea,David Watson,Ole Jørgen Hanssen,Anna Fråne,Åsa Stenmarc,Haben Tekie Pdf

Achieving a high quality of waste plastic materials and recycling processes is a key challenge in closing the resource loops for plastics. This report reviews the status and trends for plastic waste flows and treatment in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. Furthermore, it gives an overview of existing policy instruments and the main challenges for designing policy instruments for improved recycling of plastic waste in these Nordic countries. The report identifies potential market failures associated with closing the resource loops for plastics. It reviews the economics research literature on policy instrument design for achieving optimal recycling rates and makes policy recommendations from the Nordic perspective. Finally, it presents results from a survey on market conditions to managers in the recycling and plastic manufacturing industry in Sweden.

Future solutions for Nordic plastic recycling by Anna Fråne,Åsa Stenmarck,Stefán Gíslason,Søren Løkke,Malin zu Castell Rüdenhausen,Hanne L Raadal,Margareta Wahlström Pdf

Future solutions for Nordic plastic recycling contains suggestions on how to collect and recycle more of the generated plastic waste from households and other MSW sources in the Nordic region. The solutions suggested are focused on providing higher availability to collection systems, to focus less on packaging and more on plastic, to have flexible sorting and recycling systems,and to pave the way for a well-functioning, transparent market for recycled plastics that absorbs the collected material. More extensive Nordic cooperation, both on a basis of knowledge exchange and on a practical level, is believed to favour Nordic plastic collection and recycling. The report is part of the Nordic Prime Ministers' green growth initiative: “The Nordic Region – leading in green growth”.

Nordic programme to reduce the environmental impact of plastic by Anonim Pdf

The Nordic programme on a sustainable approach to plastics is a strategic tool for developing knowledge and measures, as well as enhancing synergies, networks and awareness at the Nordic level. The programme will support the ambitions of the Nordic countries in reaching their goals in relation to prevention of plastic waste, re-use and recycling of plastics, circular economy and minimizing marine plastic litter and microplastics. The program runs over 2017-18 and will be implemented through various projects and activities within the framework of the Nordic Council of Ministers or projects financed by the Nordic Council of Minister.

Plastic sorting at recycling centres by Lizzi Andersen,Asbjørn Wejdling,Trine Lund Neidel Pdf

This report is a background report for the "Guideline for plastic sorting at recycling centres". The background report describes the methodology used in preparing the guideline, including information from existing systems and the stakeholders that can be used by the recycling centres in their decision process. The report describes the importance of communicating with purchasers about the expected purity and traceability of the plastic further down the value chain. The report is part of the Nordic Prime Ministers’ initiative: “The Nordic Region – leading in green growth” – read also more in the web magazine “Green Growth the Nordic Way” at www.nordicway.org

Policy Brief – Plastic Waste Markets by David McKinnon,Ioannis Bakas,Márton Herczeg,Eldbjørg Blikra Vea,Niels Busch,Lena Holm Christensen,Camilla Christensen,Camilla K. Damgaard,Leonidas Milios,Henna Punkkinen,Margareta Wahlström Pdf

This policy brief outlines the main findings from the project Plastic Waste Markets: Overcoming barriers to better resource utilisation. The aim of the project is to provide an overview of the key barriers to a stronger and more robust market for recycled plastics, and to suggest potential initiatives that could be used to overcome these barriers and strengthen the market. The project is part of the market challenges to the Nordic Prime Ministers’ green growth initiative, The Nordic Region – leading in green growth.

Collection & recycling of plastic waste by Anna Fråne,Åsa Stenmarck,Stefán Gíslason,Kari-Anne Lyng,Søren Løkke,Malin zu Castell-Rüdenhausen,Margareta Wahlström Pdf

The first report from the project “Improvements in existing collection and recycling systems for plastic waste from households and other municipal waste sources” is focused on describing the existing situation when it comes to collection and recycling of plastic waste in the Nordic countries. The streams covered are (all from both households and other MSW sources): • Plastic packaging waste. • Non-packaging small plastic waste. • Plastic bulky waste. Similarities and differences among the Nordic countries are presented in the report. The findings provide input into the development of suggestions for improvements. The report is part of the Nordic Prime Ministers’ green growth initiative: “The Nordic Region – leading in green growth.” Read more in the web magazine “Green Growth the Nordic Way” at www.nordicway. org or at www.norden.org/greengrowth The report for Part 2 will be published in December 2014.

Towards Ending Plastic Pollution by Nordic Council of Ministers Secretariat Pdf

Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2023-539/ The ‘Towards Ending Plastic Pollution by 2040’ report was commissioned by the Nordic Council of Ministers and developed by Systemiq and presents a set of 15 global policy interventions towards ending plastic pollution. If universally adopted and supported by a set of common global rules in the international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution these could cut annual volumes of mismanaged plastic waste by 90% and virgin plastic use by 30% by 2040 relative to 2019 levels. Yet, the report highlights that more ambitious efforts are needed to align with the Paris Climate Agreement and holistically address plastic pollution.

Plastic Waste Markets by David McKinnon,Ioannis Bakas,Márton Herczeg,Eldbjørg Blikra Vea,Niels Busch ,Lena Holm Christensen,Camilla Christensen,Camilla K. Damgaard,Leonidas Milios,Henna Punkkinen,Margareta Wahlström Pdf

This project examines the market for recycled plastic, with a primary focus on post-consumer plastic waste because this is considered to be the more problematic. The market for plastic waste generated in manufacturing and production is relatively strong and well-functioning; As a consequence, the majority of plastic waste from manufacturing and production is recycled. Post-consumer waste is much less homogenous: it comes from a wide variety of sources, and contains a wide variety of plastics and tends to be difficult to collect, sort, and recycle. This project identifies barriers to further utilisation of recycled plastics, and analyses a collection of policy tools that could be used to support and expand that market.
