Closing the loop on difficult to recycle plastics: Introducing a Quality Recycling Process
Channel: CEFLEX A Circular Economy for Flexible Packaging
Date: 2021-11-24

A chicken and egg dilemma in the recycling industry today is maintaining low recycling rates for flexible packaging.

This is linked to the perception that is not possible to have high-quality recycling in flexible packaging and relatively low collection rates, across Europe as a whole. 

Specialists from across the value chain, academia, think tanks and beyond can discover a key lever for doing more with this in-depth webinar. 

The Quality Recycling Process (QRP) from CEFLEX and stakeholders is capturing new possibilities and economic value from existing technology to change this. Sorting & recycling more - and at a higher value - to drive a circular economy.

In this session: 

- Discover key insights from 5 semi-industrial trials and collaborations to produce pouches, shrink films and labels using PE and PP recyclates. 

- Learn about the financial analysis and an emerging business case to support investment in infrastructure

- Detect future business opportunities and a wide range of end market demand for recycled flexible packaging materials
