This makes the high-quality recycling of mixed plastic waste considerably more difficult. Some additives have now been strictly regulated or even completely banned for good reasons (&#8220;legacy additives&#8221;). Used plastics that still contain these substances are generally used for material or mechanical recycling. Consequently, products made from such recyclates are contaminated with these harmful substances. We therefore recommend, as already explained in our article in the journal M\u00fcll und Abfall &#8220;Kunststoffrecycling und gef\u00e4hrliche Stoffe \u2013 Risk Cycle&#8221;, avoiding the use of these recyclates for products with intensive contact with consumers until further notice. In our current article <strong>&#8220;Plastics Recycling and Hazardous Substances &#8211; Risk Cycle&#8221;<\/strong>, we also show that\u00a0 the climate policy challenges for the plastics (and chemical) industry necessitate a defossilisation (\u2018feedstock change\u2019). This turnaround can only succeed if solely high-quality recycling takes place in future; recyclates should primarily replace virgin plastics. This can only work if used plastics with a high degree of homogeneity and known formulation are collected separately, as is already the case today with PET bottles. In this context, we\u00a0 would also like to point out inconsistencies in the current legislation on the European emissions trading system. The article by Prof. Dr. habil. Uwe Lahl and Dr. Barbara Zeschmar-Lahl is currently under review and can be viewed and commented on at preprints.org.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-one-third fusion-column-last\" style=\"width:33.333333333333%;width:calc(33.333333333333% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.33333333333333 ) );margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-one-third fusion-column-first\" style=\"width:33.333333333333%;width:calc(33.333333333333% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.33333333333333 ) );margin-right: 4%;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-button-wrapper\"><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-button.button-1 {border-radius:1px;}<\/style><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-default button-1 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.preprints.org\/manuscript\/202407.0222\/v1\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text\">Article on preprints.org<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-one-third fusion-column-last\" style=\"width:33.333333333333%;width:calc(33.333333333333% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.33333333333333 ) );margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-button-wrapper\"><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-button.button-2 {border-radius:1px;}<\/style><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-default button-2 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/muellundabfall.de\/ce\/kunststoffrecycling-und-gefaehrliche-stoffe-risk-cycle\/detail.html\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text\">M\u00fcll und Abfall 4, 2024<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":6677,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6679","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en-2"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bzl-gmbh.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6679","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bzl-gmbh.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bzl-gmbh.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bzl-gmbh.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bzl-gmbh.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6679"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.bzl-gmbh.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6679\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6694,"href":"https:\/\/www.bzl-gmbh.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6679\/revisions\/6694"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bzl-gmbh.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6677"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bzl-gmbh.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6679"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bzl-gmbh.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6679"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bzl-gmbh.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
