February 2022

Dear Industry Expert,

Diverting food packaging waste from landfills is now made possible with certified circular polymers. This new breed of polymers is obtained through advanced recycling of post-consumer plastic waste that is hard to recycle via existing processes. The idea is to use more recycled plastic in food and beverage packaging as well as healthcare products.
