December 8, 2025 · The plastics circular economy is undergoing a profound transformation. New regulatory requirements such as the European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), economic pressure and technological innovation are colliding with a historically grown industry that must fundamentally rethink its structures, processes and mindsets. Tensions arise between ambition and reality – but so do new opportunities.
In conversation with Dr Peter Orth, chemist, long-standing industry expert and co-editor of the specialist book “Circular Economy of Plastics – From Plastics Recycling Towards Feedstock Transformation”, we discuss the actual state of the circular economy, the limits of political steering, the real value of digitalisation – and why responsibility and cooperation ultimately matter more than any individual technology.
