The European plastics industry – comprising PlasticsEurope, EuPC, EuPR and EPRO – has published its 18th report on trends in production, demand and recovery of plastics called the “Compelling Facts about Plastics 2007”.

In 2007 recovery of plastics in the 27 EU Member States plus Norway and Switzerland (EU27+NO/CH) reached 50% - up 1% on 2006 – mainly due to strong growth in recycling. This was achieved in a year with good growth in demand - 3% - to a total of 52.5 million tonnes across EU27+NO/CH, again exceeding GDP growth.

Nine countries (representing 29% of the population in EU27+NO/CH) recovered more than 80% of their used plastics and are near to realising their diversion from landfill vision.
