In 2018, around 380 million tonnes of plastic were produced globally. Only a small percentage of this is recycled, with most of flooding our oceans, poisoning marine life and seabirds, or going into landfills. Researchers estimate that there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish by weight by 2050, and meanwhile, villages in countries such as Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia are being ‘turned into dumpsites’.

In this Special Issue, we welcome contributions which facilitate the search for win-win solutions where cost-efficient commercial urban transport can be successfully achieved with the use of electric vehicles. Suitable submissions include the adaptation of existing distribution and service logistics systems with the inclusion of electric vehicles (e.g., within city logistics concepts), fleet analysis and routing tools, lifecycle and total cost of ownership (TCO) estimations, cost and environmental impact assessment, etc. Furthermore, we welcome successful case studies demonstrating the applicability of electric vehicles for urban freight transport and logistics.

Mars, with SABIC and Huhtamaki, Introduces Recycled Content into Pet Food Packaging to Support a Circular Economy

ByThe Circular Economy Team

Mars, Incorporated has today announced it will incorporate recycled polypropylene plastic into the primary packaging for some of its popular pet food brands. For Mars, this marks an important step in its efforts to reduce virgin plastics use across its packaging portfolio, to do its part to build a circular economy where no packaging becomes waste. Through its partnership with global packaging supplier Huhtamaki and petrochemical leader SABIC, Mars will use recycled plastic which has been manufactured using an advanced recycling process for its pet food packs. Thanks to this process, the packs will not feel or be different from those made with traditional virgin plastic but will have the added benefits that they include recycled material coming from previously used plastic products.
