27 Jun 2022 --- Kimberly-Clark Professional is expanding its RightCycle recycling program to include flex-film plastic packaging from Kimtech and products from KleenGuard, aiming to recycle complex plastics and personal protective equipment (PPE) on a large scale. Since films and flexible packaging are typically made up of various materials, recycling them calls for a particular strategy. According to researchers from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, only 5% of managed plastic garbage in the US was recycled in 2019.To address plastic waste mismanagement, the RightCycle Program partnered with Kimtech and KleenGuard to develop a strategy for the most appropriate recycling methods.
