-Solving the Polypropylene waste issue
As policy makers, governments and organisations around the world continue to explore ways to reduce or eliminate the amount of plastic packaging sent to landfills, recyclers have been hampered by their limited capacity to sort plastic by polymer type. Professor Edward Kosior of Nextek discusses the latest developments that support Polypropylene waste sorting. Bioplastic CrudeOil ReNylon Recycling
It is not widely known that despite Polypropylene (PP) being one of the main materials to be used in consumer goods packaging it is the least recycled material in the packaging recycling stream. In fact it is virtually non-existent as a food-grade recycled material. Yet it also happens to be one of the easiest polymers to recycle, if recyclers could only identify its past history during the sorting process. The reason PP is not available as a food grade recycled material is due to the inability to separate food grade from non-food grade PP.

-UKRI versus unsustainable plastics
UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has launched two new competitions to develop smarter, greener, safer and more easily recyclable plastics.
Up to £8m (~€9m) funding will help researchers develop recycling systems that can cope with rising volumes and enable academics to analyse how package design impacts consumer behaviour – which could help businesses design and produce sustainable, appealing packaging.
