Key Circularity Enablers for Recycling Flexible Films

The Alliance to End Plastic Waste has released a report highlighting key enablers for recycling flexible film in Europe and North America. Segregated waste collection and advanced secondary sorting are deemed essential to improve recycling quality and efficiency. The report stresses the importance of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) targets to develop markets and attract investment for infrastructure upgrades.

The Alliance's Flexibles Program aims to showcase system solutions and enhance compliance with regulations. The report outlines five circularity enablers: improving collection and sorting, stimulating end-market demand, de-risking investment, harmonizing design guidelines, and adjustable EPR fees to encourage eco-friendly designs. These measures are expected to transform flexible film recycling practices, supported by coordinated industry and regulatory actions.
