Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

2.1.5 Recycling of Plastic Packaging

Course subject(s) Module 2. Recycling of Packaging

As we have seen in the previous episode, plastics are some of the most commonly used materials in packaging and therefore make up a large proportion of all packaging waste. Because of this, we will be using plastics as an example to explore packaging recycling throughout this episode. The video below provides an overview of a closed loop recycling process for plastic packaging in the Netherlands.

Availability of this video might be hindered on mobile devices. The video is available on YouTube. The transcript of this video is available for download here.

The TU Delft was granted permission to use the video Separating waste matters! by SUEZ Nederland in this course. No other rights or permissions are granted beyond the bounds of this course.
