12 Oct 2022 --- UK councils Cheltenham and South Gloucestershire are trialing curbside collections for flexible plastic packaging under the Flexible Plastic Fund (FPF) FlexCollect project. Launched last May, FPF FlexCollect is the most extensive pilot for household collection and recycling of flexible packaging to be undertaken in the UK. Up to nine councils are to participate voluntarily in the three-year project. PackagingInsights sits down with Gareth Morton, project manager for the FlexCollect project, to discuss the project’s implications on the country’s recycling infrastructure and the challenges to be expected.
