New guidance: Defining what’s recyclable and best in class polymer choices for packaging
What packaging is recyclable? What is the best in class polymer for your packaging? WRAP published a new guidance document on 16 July providing further guidance on the UK’s vision of what class polymer should be used for packaging of household goods. The document outlines which plastics are currently considered recyclable and covers household rigid plastic packaging such as:
- Milk bottles
- Bottles (food and drink)
- Bottles (non-food or drink)
- Pots, tubs and trays (food and drink)
- Pots, tubs trays (non-food or drink)
Comply Direct recommend that packaging producers and manufacturers download this guidance document using the link below and adopt the principles for your products/packaging where possible. This will hopefully help reduce the range of packaging polymer types being placed on the market and increase polymer usage that are more easily recycled in practise.
