On December 3, 2018, the industry associations Petcore Europe and Plastics Recyclers Europe (PRE) published a document entitled “Design for recycling guidelines for PET thermoformed trays clear transparent to be recycled even in food applications.”

The document reflects “the current status-of-the-art of technology” and will be updated when new technology is established.
