Circular Economy: Solutions for Post-Consumer Waste and the Future of Plastics
The Stark Reality of Plastic Waste
Globally, an alarming 40%-50% of waste plastic finds no sustainable use, signaling a critical need for innovative recycling solutions. As the plastics industry faces mounting environmental pressures, TSM Control Systems stands at the forefront of sustainable transformation, guided by a commitment to the circular economy.
Legislative Catalysts and Industry Response
Recent EU mandates demand that by 2027, 70% of all plastic products must comprise recycled materials. These ambitious goals reflect a broader industry shift towards sustainable practices, where compliance not only addresses environmental concerns but also sets a new standard in materials innovation.
U.S. Senate’s Bold Move: The Recycling and Composting Bills
In a significant legislative effort to bolster national recycling and composting strategies, the U.S. Senate has unanimously passed two bipartisan bills. The Recycling Infrastructure and Accessibility Act and the Recycling and Composting Accountability Act aim to improve and expand recycling and composting services across the country. These bills focus on establishing a more robust infrastructure for recycling, enhancing data collection, and developing a national strategy for composting, aiming to increase the national recycling rate to 50% by 2030. This legislative push underscores the vital role of comprehensive strategies in achieving sustainability goals and significantly impacts industries nationwide, including ours.
