To improve the overall system, the PRFLEX initiative’s first undertaking—carried out in collaboration with other leaders in circularity—was a foundational study on the current state of flexible plastic packaging (FPP) recycling in Canada.
The research objectives were to:
Gather baseline data to determine the percentage of FPP currently collected, sorted, and recycled by format and type in each province.
Identify infrastructure gaps at material recovery facilities and reclaimers.
Propose new technologies and optimize processes to increase capture rates, improve sorting, and produce higher-quality post-consumer recycled resins.
The U.S. and Canada Plastics Pacts co-hosted a series of technical workshops to identify current innovation pathways for flexibles and films across different plastic packaging formats and solve technical issues and challenges for converting to mono-material flexibles and films.
