The project Bottle to Bottle: circular economy for plastic bottles in Portugal has as its main objective to increase the recycling of plastic bottles, through modern equipment and technologies that will allow the reintroduction of a top quality raw material (PET recycled flakes), for the production of new plastic bottles.
Under the EEA Grants Environment Program, the “Bottle to Bottle: Top Quality PET for the circular economy of plastic bottles in Portugal” project aims to increase the recycling of plastic bottles for the production of recycled PET flakes from high quality.
For the project’s publicity, tarpaulins were designed, produced and applied in freight transport, with European routes, with the aim of greater promotion and awareness of the topic of plastic recycling.
But that is not all, As part of its promotion new uniforms were designed and produced, namely reflective vests, high-visibility coats, lab coats, sweats and T-shirts, which aim to give greater visibility to the project in a work context. Given that Ecoibéria receives numerous visits from abroad (schools, suppliers, partners and customers), this dissemination through uniforms turns out to be advantageous for all parties.
