Making Soft Plastics Recyclable at Kerbside
==> picture [191 x 55] intentionally omitted <==
-
1) Packaging must be both three-dimensional and 100% one plastic type to go through kerbside/household recycling
-
2) The pouch is designed from a single type of plastic with a unique label so consumers can roll the pack into a 3D shape once empty
-
3) Once rolled, the pack can be put into household co-mingled recycling and move successfully through the recycling facility to be sorted into the plastic streams
