Bringing an end to single use plastic. Poseidon’s proprietary chemical recycling process converts waste PET plastics into valuable feedstock. #EndPlasticWaste
Poseidon’s proprietary enhanced recycled PET (erPET®) will help packaging brands become more #sustainable.
erPET, a 100% recycled material, is expected to be available in 2024, and will help #manufacturers to reduce their plastic packaging tax burden: https://t.co/NWYZxlbBZC
“We cannot have a healthy planet without a healthy ocean” - António Guterres
If we are to mitigate and eventually start reversing our impact on our oceans, we need to end single use plastic, today: https://t.co/1sqitigzYn

Save the planet. Support recycling.
Happy #GlobalRecyclingDay from Poseidon Plastic ♻️
Poseidon is on mission to eliminate single-use plastic by creating a #circulareconomy for PET.

We support @UNEP's efforts to limit the production of virgin plastic and the unnecessary use of single-use products.
With c.11 million tonnes of #plasticwaste now entering our oceans annually, we need to address the root causes of plastic pollution: https://t.co/mbrovN3BrU
We're pleased to announce that we have been awarded pre-issuance certification for the launch of £200 million of #GreenBonds under the global Climate Bonds Standard, overseen by @ClimateBonds.

Not all plastics are the same. PET bottles are made to be remade.
That is why PET is the most recycled plastic packaging material in Europe. ♻️

The next 10 years will see significant opportunities for the UK #PlasticsRecycling industry as we move towards a more #CircularEconomy.
Governments and global brands need to work together to build a sustainable framework to increase #PlasticRecycling and reduce waste.
Last month, we attended @CIWM’s conference on advanced plastic recycling.
Thanks to @CIWMNE for giving our CEO, Martin Atkins, the chance to discuss the benefits of our proprietary #plasticrecycling technology & highlight our work with @prescateamwear: https://t.co/7acGY2oanZ
Plastic waste can travel thousands of kilometres in a matter of months. That's why the onus is on all of us, regardless of location, to ensure plastic is recycled and kept away from our waterways: https://t.co/Ci5wRGTJIN
#EndPlasticWaste#CircularEconomy
Today, we are committing to transition to 100% recycled plastic #rPET bottles for our Pepsi brand in 9 European markets:
🇩🇪 🇬🇷 🇵🇱 🇷🇴 🇪🇸 by 2021
🇧🇪 🇫🇷 🇱🇺 🇬🇧 by 2022

Earlier this year, Poseidon began working with @prescateamwear & @TeessideUni to develop the UK’s first fully circular polyester sportswear range.
Our aim is to materially reduce both plastic waste and the energy intensity of the fashion industry: https://t.co/VozClOaq5d
Fashion is the 3rd most polluting industry - only 1% of clothing is currently recycled into new garments.
Clothes made from recycled PET bottles, rather than virgin PET, are more sustainable, but do not create a true circular economy for polyester: https://t.co/BTd9OXKUsU (1/2)
Engaging seminar last week from @ftlive. We agree with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation (@circulareconomy).
Consistent and transparent public reporting from governments and industry is fundamental in meeting global recycling targets.
“We are calling on industry to rapidly increase efforts to reduce single-use packaging and eliminate packaging types that have no credible pathway to making recycling work in practice and at scale” - @SanderDefruyt, Lead @NewPlasticsEcon (2/2)
