Greyparrot

Last week ended with some exciting news for UK #circularity — the full extended producer responsibility for packaging (#pEPR) regulations were officially laid in parliament 🏛 The finalised plans provide much-needed clarity on the #EPR rollout, which will unblock investment and preparation across the resource value chain 🔗 💡 Brands and packaging producers have concrete guidelines to help plan targeted investments in more sustainable product design — now, with economic incentives tied to #recyclability, it has never been more important to measure how products perform through data 👀 ♻️ The waste sector, which will play a pivotal role in enforcing EPR regulation, can continue preparing for sampling increases in more confidence. Along with recent changes to the #MF sampling requirements, clearer #EPR regulation will encourage more facilities to embrace automated sampling and reporting 🚀 Here’s what Harry Rhys Davies, who keeps an eye on policy at Greyparrot, had to say about the announcement: “Getting pEPR over line in the UK is a huge achievement, one which will pave the way for smarter, more responsible packaging waste practices that align us more closely with our European partners. We’ve already seen that this has been a tremendously successful model in other markets, encouraging brands to rethink packaging design for sustainability, as well as promoting innovation in waste. This is a major step towards transparency and accountability across the packaging sector, which, in turn, benefits us all.“

🚀 Greyparrot joined The ReAssembly, hosted by Regeneration.VC, to discuss how #AI and #ML are transforming material recovery and waste reduction. 🌍 Greyparrot's Co-founder Ambarish Mitra, alongside Charlie Vallel (CEO, SmarterX) and Ellie McDonald (G2 Venture Partners) explored the impact of advanced AI. ♻️ 💡 Key topics 💡: 🔵 The logistics, infrastructure gaps in waste management, and health risks for waste workers 🔵 The lack of standardisation in product design impacting downstream recycling 🔵 Recycling facilities designed 20+ years ago struggling with new materials and waste influx 🔵 The "green premium": Will consumers pay more for sustainability? 💡 Ambarish highlighted these key points💡: 🟢 We must reframe “value” and “desirability” in #circularity. How do we shift consumer priorities? 🟢 The scale of the issue: 2B+ tonnes of waste generated annually, with outdated systems still relying on manual sorting. The industry needs automation now. 🟢 Introduced the Greyparrot Analyzer as a game-changing solution, set to analyse over 50B+ items this year in #recycling plants worldwide, helping waste managers divert waste from landfills and providing global brands with critical insights on packaging and #EPR compliance. It was a productive discussion highlighting the urgent need to address the aftermath of consumption, which is deeply connected to #biodiversity loss and #climatechange. Thank you to Michael Smith and the team for providing the platform for this important discussion. We’re already looking forward to The ReAssembly 2025!
