FLEXIBILE PLASTIC FUND
Five manufacturing giants have united to form a £1 million fund to help make flexible plastic recycling economically viable for recyclers and easier for consumers. Mars UK, Mondelez International, Nestlé, PepsiCo, and Unilever are supporting the Flexible Plastic Fund, which is a UK industry first and is being led by producer compliance scheme Ecosurety with support from environmental charity Hubbub.
Under the mantra “We’re bringing flexi back”, the new collaborative fund is intended to give value to flexible plastics – including plastic film lids – so they are properly recycled.
And the message is: “Whether you call it flexi, flexible, soft or ‘plastic bags and wrapping’, there are loads of ways to describe things like wrappers, packets, film, and pouches. The important thing is that it can now be recycled.”
