cycleworks - High quality plastics recycling Switzerland

Closing plastic loops requires dialog between all stakeholders along the value chain. This is precisely where cycleworks comes in,offering an open, cross-polymer exchange platform as part of the project QualiCycle - Initiative for high-quality plastics recycling in Switzerland .

The cycleworks - a further development of the cycleworks - Closing the loop PS Switzerland -creates space for targeted exchange, joint learning and the development of viable solutions - with a particular focus on applications in the food sector. Knowledge from existing polymer-specific projects is pooled and further developed in order to promote a closed loop for high-quality plastic, especially food packaging, in Switzerland more efficiently and effectively.

The platform is aimed at companies, organizations and institutions along the entire plastics value chain - regardless of the type of polymer, as many challenges do not affect individual materials, but the entire industry. Cooperation and systematic knowledge building create the basis for a circular plastics economy in Switzerland.

The main topics include:

• Technological developments and best practices for high-quality plastics recycling
• Challenges along the value chain, such as quality assurance and purity requirements

• Regulatory framework in Switzerland and the EU

• Infrastructure Development in Switzerland
