Closed loop recycling

According to The Week (14 June) Britain's first 'closed loop' plant dealing with plastic bottle recycling opens at Dagenham on 26 June.

Under 'closed loop' recycling, different types of plastic are kept separate so they can be used again at the same quality as the virgin plastic, rather than getting mixed up with other plastics and becoming "low grade" and therefore unusable for high-end packaging such as for food.
