LCC - Datasets for PlastiCircle Economic Evaluation of the Light Packaging Waste Management

These datasets are related to deliverable 7.4 which presents the results from the economic assessment for the waste management systems evaluation of the city pilots and converter industries.

PlastiCircle technologies allowed higher collection of plastic packaging and better input quality which might result in an increased market demand achieving the European recycling objectives. The higher volumes collected cause higher management costs which are compensated by higher remuneration from the PRO. The higher recovery resulted in higher recycling costs which are offset by higher revenues from sales. The evaluation of the industrial case studies indicates that the profitability of the production of industrial products using recycled post-consumer plastics is dependent of the market prices and the stability of the supply.
