Driving a circular polyolefin system
Why polyolefins?
How do we become circular?
How do we become circular?
Polyolefins are extremely valuable and versatile plastics. They are a leading material across a wide variety of industries and applications, ranging from everyday household use to specialised industrial applications. Polyolefins are vital materials if we want to decarbonise our society and have high quality, safe, eco-friendly lives.

PCEP's goal is to transform the entire polyolefin system from a linear to a circular.
In addition to designing polyolefin products to be more reusable and recyclable, PCEP remodels collection and sorting systems to improve recycling processes, so minimising waste and maximising the return of recycled polyolefins as high-quality raw material.

How do we become circular?
Who is PCEP?
PCEP is a unique forum for dialogue and cooperation between all parts of the polyolefin value chain: brand owners, retailers, waste management organisations, recyclers, converters, producers and other stakeholders. We provide innovative solutions that are useful to industry as well as beneficial to society and the environment.
PCEP launches overarching principles for polyolefin design to navigate circular decisions.
With an abundance of product design guidelines available in the plastic industry, how do we know what’s good or bad? PCEP has brought the value chain together and developed three overarching principles for polyolefin design, to provide designers with confidence that the guidelines they use will advance the circular economy.
Value chain collaborates to create a new enhanced datasheet to boost confidence in the use of recycled polyolefins
Gathering the polyolefin value chain together around one table has unlocked a major barrier for the industry’s transformation to a circular economy – the key being a new, enhanced technical data sheet for recyclers.
PCEP joins cross-polymer initiative PolyREC® to monitor, verify and report on Europe’s recycled plastic flows
PCEP, SCS and EUMEPS have joined members Petcore Europe, PlasticsEurope, Plastics Recyclers Europe, and VinylPlus to support the setup of a harmonised, pan-European data collection system.
