Europese landen staan positief en ondersteunend tegenover RPET-serviesgoed; zij beschikken over een uitgebreid beleidskader en regelgeving, volwassen markttoepassingen en strenge veiligheidscertificeringsnormen. Zij lopen wereldwijd voorop bij de bevordering van RPET-serviesgoed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Sterke beleidsmatige en regelgevende drijfveren<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    De Europese Unie stimuleert de ontwikkeling van rPET-serviesgoed via diverse richtlijnen. De EU-richtlijn inzake wegwerpplastic (SUP) neemt rPET-serviesgoed op in de lijst van aangemoedigde ontwikkelingen en schrijft voor dat plastic producten die in contact komen met levensmiddelen tegen 2030 ten minste 50% gerecycled materiaal moeten bevatten. Verordening (EU) 2022\/1616 van de Europese Commissie stelt een veiligheidsbeoordelingssysteem vast voor gerecyclede kunststofmaterialen, waarbij wordt vereist dat gerecyclede kunststoffen afkomstig moeten zijn van goedgekeurde recyclingprocessen en door de Europese Autoriteit voor voedselveiligheid (EFSA) moeten worden beoordeeld en goedgekeurd voordat ze op de markt worden gebracht.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    De Britse regering schrijft voor dat serviesgoed voor afhaalmaaltijden voor ten minste 30% uit gerecyclede materialen moet bestaan en heeft met ingang van oktober 2023 een reeks plastic wegwerpproducten verboden. Ook de EU eist dat tegen 2029 90% van de plastic flessen wordt gerecycled, waarbij PET-flessen vanaf 2025 ten minste 25% gerecycled plastic moeten bevatten.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Brede markttoepassingen<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Europa is wereldwijd de regio met de hoogste penetratiegraad van RPET-serviesgoed. In 2024 bedroeg het gebruik van rPET in de Europese horecasector meer dan 420.000 ton, wat neerkomt op 31% van al het plastic serviesgoed. Uit gegevens van het European Plastics Pact blijkt dat er in 2023 op de EU-markt ongeveer 280.000 ton rPET werd gebruikt voor binnenverpakkingsbakjes die in contact komen met voedsel, bijna een verdrievoudiging ten opzichte van 2020, en dat dit gebruik naar verwachting in 2025 meer dan 450.000 ton zal bedragen.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Toonaangevende bedrijven breiden hun aanwezigheid actief uit. Plastipak heeft meerdere rPET-recyclingfabrieken opgezet in Europa, met een jaarlijkse productiecapaciteit van meer dan 150.000 ton rPET van voedingskwaliteit. De Duitse RCS Group heeft een belang verworven in het Kroatische rPET-recyclingbedrijf Rekis, waardoor de Europese productiecapaciteit voor rPET van voedingskwaliteit verder wordt uitgebreid.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Uitgebreid veiligheidscertificeringssysteem<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

        De Europese Autoriteit voor voedselveiligheid (EFSA) heeft een streng veiligheidsbeoordelingssysteem voor rPET van voedingskwaliteit opgezet. De EFSA controleert de ontsmettingscapaciteiten van recyclingprocessen door middel van \u201cchallenge-tests\u201d, waarbij extreme verontreinigingsscenario\u2019s worden gesimuleerd om de doeltreffendheid en betrouwbaarheid van de processen aan te tonen. Het LSP-proces van het Oostenrijkse NGR is door de EFSA beoordeeld en goedgekeurd, waardoor het momenteel het enige gecertificeerde proces is dat voldoet aan de normen voor toepassingen in de voedingsmiddelenindustrie.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Producten moeten bovendien voldoen aan de EU-verordening inzake materialen die in contact komen met levensmiddelen (EG) nr. 1935\/2004, waarin strenge grenswaarden zijn vastgelegd voor de migratie van schadelijke stoffen uit serviesgoed zoals keramiek, metalen en glas. De normenreeks EN 12875 regelt specifiek de duurzaamheid van serviesgoed in vaatwasmachines.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Grote acceptatie bij de consument<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           <\/p>\n

          Uit enqu\u00eategegevens blijkt dat meer dan 60% van de consumenten het gebruik van rPET in voedselverpakkingen ondersteunt. Wanneer consumenten inzicht krijgen in de positieve bijdragen van rPET aan energiebesparing, emissiereductie en het hergebruik van grondstoffen, zijn ze eerder geneigd om het te omarmen. Voortdurende wetenschappelijke voorlichting en publieke educatie hebben het maatschappelijk bewustzijn en de acceptatie van rPET verder vergroot.<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          De positieve houding van Europese landen ten opzichte van RPET-servies komt op verschillende vlakken tot uiting, waaronder beleidsondersteuning, markttoepassingen, veiligheidscertificeringen en acceptatie door de consument. Hierdoor is een compleet industrieel ecosysteem ontstaan, dat als model dient voor de wereldwijde ontwikkeling van RPET-servies.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
