12 Jun 2019 --- Project Proof, an Ellen MacArthur Foundation Pioneer Project led by Mondi, has developed a usable pouch prototype containing 20 percent post-consumer waste, bringing “flexible packaging one step closer to a circular economy.” The pouch is suitable for packaging household products such as detergent and is made from mixed household waste. Mondi will now develop the prototype further to ensure it can be rolled out as a commercially viable product for FMCG customers, with an estimated time-frame of two months. The work also supports Mondi’s position as a signatory of the New Plastics Economy Commitment, and to ensure a minimum of 25 percent of post-consumer waste is incorporated across all its flexible plastic packaging where food contact regulations allow by 2025.
