Surge in bankruptcy auctions hits Dutch plastic recycling sector
The Dutch plastic recycling sector is facing a sharp rise in bankruptcies, with auction house Troostwijk Auctions reporting a 150% increase in related auctions, compared to the previous year. This surge is attributed to high production costs, regulatory uncertainty, and increasing international competition, particularly from cheap virgin plastic imports from the US and China. Low demand for circular products has further exacerbated the situation.
Notable insolvencies include the Dutch branch of Danish artificial turf recycler Re-Match, despite prior government subsidies. Other companies like Umincorp, PVC Recycling Lelystad, and Stiphout Plastics also collapsed in late 2024. Experts warn that without new measures, such as restricting virgin plastic imports and enforcing stricter blending requirements, the Netherlands' circular economy ambitions are at risk. Setting up circular businesses proves challenging due to heavy investments and complex logistics.
