29 Jun 2020 --- Materials Recovery For the Future’s (MRFF) pilot program in Pennsylvania, US, has published a research report demonstrating the successful collection, separation and preparation for the recycling of flexible plastic packaging (FPP). The project is the first curbside recycling program in the US to accept FPP with other recyclables, separate it at a community material recovery facility and bale it for reprocessing. The MRFF consortium, which includes major industry players like Nestlé Purina PetCare, Nestlé USA and P&G, is motivated by the need to reduce plastics in the environment, increase recycled resin use in products and create an innovative and effective recycling solution for FPP.
