As a platform for international cooperation, the PREVENT Waste Alliance connects all stakeholders along value chains by bringing together different perspectives and finding technical solutions to reduce and prevent waste and achieve a circular economy.

The strategy director of Reciclad’OR will work, together with other experts from all around the world, in two working groups: “Conserving resources” and the “Closing packaging circles” group. In the working group “Conserving resources” the emphasis will be on conserving resources, developing best practices for plastic recycling and increasing the use of recycled plastics in new products, and in the working group “Closing packaging circles” the emphasis will be on awareness on the value of packaging materials and establishing an efficient material cycle.

All the acquired expertise as well as the good practices identified at international level will be communicated constantly and equidistantly to all Reciclad’OR customers. In this way, our clients will be constantly informed about existing trends at the international level so that their business can successfully adapt to the challenges of the circular economy.
