To achieve these targets, it was recommended to improve both the collection and sorting of plastic waste. It was also recommended that recycling targets be calculated based on the actual output of the recycling process to ensure that less material is lost and the quality of recycled products remains high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>You can download the study here: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.circulareconomyforum.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Circular-Economy-of-Plastics-Packaging-in-Austria.pdf\" style=\"background-color:#018fba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">download<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diese Studie untersucht das Abfallmanagement von Kunststoffverpackungen in \u00d6sterreich im Jahr 2013.
