There has been no growth trend identified in recycling yield. Some recyclers cite increases incontamination in their waste bales, which negatively impacts yield.Collection volumes are not expected to increase significantly. In 2019 we expect an increaseof 2.5% relative to 2018 and by more than 2.8% in 2020 based on continued growth in PETconsumption and assuming no significant improvements in collection schemes. If firm dates areset for the launch of new deposit schemes, forecasts will be revised upwards.ICIS and Petcore Europe Annual Survey on the European PET Recycle Industry
