Video: K 2019 Recycling View From Material and Machinery Suppliers
Plastics Technology's Heather Caliendo visited with NGR and DSM to learn about their role in the circular economy.
Talk of the “circular economy” has pervaded K 2019, and while there may be some greenwashing taking place, many of the exhibitors are announcing real-world tangible efforts to keep end-of-life plastics out of the environment and change where they come from originally.
