About Petcore

Petcore, PET containers recycling Europe, is a non-profit European association fostering the use and development of PET containers and facilitating both PET recycling and the development of recycled end material.

Petcore was set up in 1993 by resin producing companies. Their intent was to create a "knowledge centre" on PET that would promote the product across the European continent.

Throughout the years, Petcore has welcomed members from other sectors of the PET industry and today it sees a wide representation from many sectors of the business: resin producers, containers manufacturers and bottle end-users. However, Petcore's intention is to further expand its membership calling upon yet other sectors of the trade.

Petcore assists local authorities in establishing PET containers recycling programmes and maintains close relationships with European national associations dedicated to the recovery and recycling of PET containers.

Through participation in the recycling efforts of many European countries, Petcore has developed a sound know-how in the establishment of recycling programmes and can assist communities with pertinent information about the processing, reclamation and re manufacture of post-consumer containers.
