Philipp Lehner, CEO of Alpla Group, discussed the company's 70-year history and a recycling world record in a podcast published in August 2025. He stated that nearly 40 recycling plants in Europe had closed in the preceding nine months due to a lack of demand and substitution by imports, attributing this to high regulatory requirements that he said some companies cannot meet financially or operationally.
