24 Apr 2020 --- The British Plastics Federation (BPF) in conjunction with the Food and Drink Federation (FDF) and the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Perfumery Association (CTPA) has released new guidelines on including recycled content in packaging. The inclusion of recycled materials in packaging can have environmental benefits of resource efficiency and carbon savings, as detailed in the guidelines. The guidelines concede that, under current regulations and technical constraints, it is not possible at this time to incorporate recycled materials in many types of plastic packaging owing to the rigorous safety requirements currently in place to protect human health.
