Économie circulaire L'économie circulaire est une expression générique désignant un concept économique qui s'inscrit dans le cadre du développement durable et s'inspirant notamment des notions d'économie verte, d’économie de l'usage ou de l'économie de la fonctionnalité, de l'économie de la performance et de l'écologie industrielle (laquelle veut que le déchet d'une industrie soit recyclé en matière première d'une autre industrie ou de la même).
Son objectif est de produire des biens et services tout en limitant fortement la consommation et le gaspillage des matières premières, et des sources d'énergies non renouvelables ;
Selon la fondation Ellen Mac Arthur (créée pour promouvoir l'économie circulaire1), il s'agit d'une économie industrielle qui est, à dessein ou par intention, réparatrice et dans laquelle les flux de matières sont de deux types bien séparés ; les nutriments biologiques, destinés à ré-entrer dans la biosphère en toute sécurité, et des intrants techniques ("technical nutrients"), conçus pour être recyclés en restant à haut niveau de qualité, sans entrer dans la biosphère

| Résumé : |
There is little doubt where we are heading : multilayer packaging will have to become easier to recycle – but what does that mean for the technology ? And what solutions will the market need and accept? Manufacturers of branded goods are not the only ones who will have to rethink their specifications. |
| Note de contenu : |
- Mr. Baumgartner, you are not only CEO of a large manufacturer of flexible packaging, but since mid-year, you have been Chairman of the Flexible Packaging Europe association. Which materials does this involve ?
- Is this development turning around because plastics have become the subject of criticism ?
- What does monomaterial mean in practice ? We are not talking about 100 percent of a single polymer.
- For years, the trend was towards even more layers and combination of different polymers. Now, we face the challenge of achieving similar properties with monomaterials
- Can your company already offer your customers packaging solutions that meet all the requirements in this respects?
- How do you achieve that ?
- What restrictions still exist ?
- Are over-specifications widespread ?
- Are the customers of the packaging material ready for this ?
- Why has your company built this factory for mono-material PE film, a flagship project for the circular economy, in Asia, not here in Europe, for example ?
- You will have to explain that for us
- Are the manufacturers responsible for this th.emselves ?
- Would you like to see such a system in Europe ?
- It has acquired its value due to legal regulations.
- This often involves food packaging, which also plays an important role in your company. But it is precisely here that use of recycled material is not a trivial matter.
- Where - if not in such packaging - can post-consumer recyclate be used evenmore extensively ?
- Should the authorities loosen up these rules, then ?
- What do these uincertainties and challenges that we have discussed actually mean for you economically ? Are there only regional dips or will growth collapse globally ?
- How is the packaging industry responding to this ?
- Young people in particular will not want to hear that. Have you already experienced any problems attracting new recruits to the companies ? |
