EPRO (European Association of Plastics Recycling and Recovery Organisations) wants good examples in order to promote the cycle of plastics, as well as increase the request for recyclables. So it asks: Do you sell goods made of recycled material? Would you like the whole of Europe to know about your products and their environmental advantages?

EPRO will collect examples of the best recycled products from across Europe from now until the 15th of September 2009. What the Association needs in order to show the good examples are products which fulfill the criteria below:

* Contains a substantial percentage of recycled post consumer/post industrial plastics (50 percent and over)
* Is a marketable product
* Can be a B2B product, or a product for the consumer market
* Sustainability is a key and important factor
* Produced in Europe
* Made out of recycled used plastics packaging

To enter, a brief description and a photo(s) of the product(s) has to be mailed to epro-plasticsrecycling.org with a subject title: Best products containing recycled plastics entry. The winner will obtain publicity and a plaque as a visible token of the success. All entries which are according to the criteria above will be published on the EPRO website.

An EPRO panel consisting of 8 people (the panel will include representatives from, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Norway, UK, Spain and Sweden) will assess the entries and proclaim a winner. Winners will be announced in December 2009 at the EPRO AGM and simultaneously published on the EPRO website.
