European Aerosol Federation (FEA), Code of Practice on PET aerosol dispenser recyclability in the EU, December 2022

Currently PET aerosols dispensers placed on the EU single market usually contain metal valve components. FEA recognises there are two types of plastic recyclers, those working with closed-loops and the those who are general recyclers. The first have problems with metal because they do not have metal detection and separation processes, the second can manage the presence of metal parts.
