13 Sep 2019 --- Chief Technology & Innovation Officer at Veolia UK & Ireland, Richard Kirkman, says that Veolia is ready and able to invest in the supply of recycled plastics, once the manufacturing demand is there. Speaking to PackagingInsights during Packaging Innovations 2019 in London this week, Kirkman expressed his support for the UK government’s waste management strategy, including a plastics tax that will help fuel demand for recycled content. In this interview, Kirkman also calls for more standardized use of packaging materials, especially in films, to help recycling efficiencies, and promotes the sometimes-forgotten environmental benefits of plastics.
