Nestlé Puts Resources Into Plastics Recycling The CPG giant is investing $8.8 million in the facility. A new plastic recycling plant is set to open in Durham, North England, with a significant investment from Nestlé UK and Ireland. The innovative process, known as Baffled Oscillation Separation System, or BOSS, sorts the waste plastics by spinning them in water, meaning that different materials either sink or float, depending on their density. This makes it easier to take the correct materials to be recycled. #Nestlé #Impact_Recycling #Recycling #BOSS #hard_to_recycle #flexible_plastics https://lnkd.in/giesfBQQ

Food/Sustainable Packaging Specialist - Supplyone - Legislative Advocate for Tennessee Waste Reduction & Recycling Act - Volunteer Outreach Director, Reimagine Packaging Tennessee Coalition, LEED-AP garytalkstrash.com
"Unilever recently acknowledged it will miss its 2025 target date for key plastics recycling goals and revised its pledge to reflect that reality – but the company’s head of packaging also said the failure contributed to its support for stronger regulations like extended producer responsibility. Our Reimagine Packaging Tennessee Coalition can attest to Unilever support for our EPR for Packaging bill, Tennessee Waste Reduction & Recycling Act. Unilever, along with Mars Inc, Danone and Nestle, members of the Sustainable Food Policy Alliance have all come out in support and we are grateful. Meeting recycling and recycled content goals requires increased collection and processing from a recycling system in dire need of huge investments. Investments that these companies recognize can only come from state EPR policies. Our coalition looks forwards to passing EPR in Tennessee. Legislation that will help companies attain their goals, reduce dependence on landfills, contribute to the circular economy all while bringing new jobs and economic development to Tennessee. A win/win for all..
Unilever has 'fallen short' of recyclability goals

The new facility will process flexible plastics typically used in food packaging. These ‘hard-to-recycle’ plastics will be converted into pellets which can be used to make new flexible products such as postbags and refuse bags. The site will have the capacity to take 25,000 tonnes of this plastic, a figure which surpasses the amount of flexible plastic packaging Nestlé UK and Ireland produce. The pellets can be used to replace virgin plastic films in construction and agriculture as well as to make bin bags. David Walsh, CEO of Impact Recycling, said: “We are delighted to partner with Nestle on this initiative to develop a 25,000-tonne commercial recycling plant for post-consumer flexible plastic. Without the funding from Nestlé, this development would not have been possible.” #Nestlé #Sustainability #Recycling #UK #Investment #Initiative

Australia has set the goal for 70% of #plasticpackaging to be #recycled or composted by 2025, and for unnecessary single-use plastic packaging to be phased out. One worthy recipient of this initiative is Circular Plastics Australia (a joint venture between Pact Group Holdings Ltd, Cleanaway Waste Management, Asahi Beverages and Coca-Cola Europacific Partners), which with the additional support of the Australian Government's Recycling Modernisation Fund, constructed a new Pet Plastics Ltd.

I want to share an update on our packaging journey. Our Nestlé teams have been recognized in the recently published Ellen MacArthur Foundation Report on New Plastics Economy Global Commitment. We have surpassed market expectations in: - Reducing the use of virgin plastic - Increasing the incorporation of recycled content - Enhancing the recyclability of plastics on a large scale This achievement is a remarkable milestone. We are very proud of it, but more work is still needed. We remain committed to innovating for a more sustainable future – especially when it comes continuing to progress in decreasing virgin plastic usage and increasing the recycled content in our portfolio. With our teams and partners it’s important that we continue to push the boundaries of what is possible to make a lasting impact on the #circulareconomy. Big thanks to everyone’s unwavering commitment so far. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/emJwj2KE #EMF #Packaging #Sustainability

Coca-Cola is currently one of the companies who uses the most plastic in the world, however now they have announced that they have a plan to reduce the amount of plastic involved in their products. The firm has agreed to fund a three-year trial at Swansea University, which aligns with the company’s target of being net zero by 2040. The first stage that Coca-Cola is focusing on is switching what their current plastic packaging is manufactured out of. Until now the company has been making plastic for their packaging out of cheap fossil fuels, but they are planning to change this to manufacturing the plastic out of carbon captured from the air around their factories or from their own factory emissions. From this captured carbon, the company is planning to manufacture key ingredients for plastic which will become their bottle tops. https://lnkd.in/eTnR-fh8

As 2024 kicks off we move closer to Australia's National 2025 Packaging targets, a joint industry initiative to significantly increase the amount of materials recycled and reused in packaging. For leaders in this area, a key challenge is improving the availability of high-quality recycled materials locally.🌍 ♻ Late last year it was exciting to see a new state-of-the-art recycling facility open in Altona Victoria, a cross-industry partnership that can process around 1 billion plastic bottles per year. Facilities like these are game-changers in our collective transformation to a more circular economy and we congratulate everyone involved. 👏 https://lnkd.in/gMvG8sr5

Good to see this advance in the use of rPET, following Watson's Water's move to 100% rPET bottles in 2018. We would all like to know if the pre-forms are made in Hong Kong. If not, where is the material collected from Hong Kong, sent to for processing? If pre-forms are not made in Hong Kong, why is that? Is there is a regulatory hurdle somewhere standing in the way of this circular economy? It would be great for all readers to know either way. The simple introduction of 100% rPET bottles into the Hong Kong market does not lead to an improvement in the local collection system and people's desires to be part of a new, scaled collection program, without inspiring incentives, which to date, do not yet exist.

Working towards a #ZeroWasteWorld isn't just about developing new solutions, but about improving existing ones, too! 📈♻️ Happy to see Coca-Cola 🥤 introduce this rPET bottle to more markets, as it's a more sustainable alternative to regular PET bottles – it literally means 🆁🄴🄲🅈🄲🄻🄴🄳 🅿 🅴 🆃. ➡️ Did you know PET bottles are usually recycled into fibers or film, which are less durable than the bottles and are therefore considered a downgrade? These rPET bottles are a great step towards figuring out how we can not only truly 𝗥𝗘cycle, but even 𝗨𝗣cycle our waste. 🌳🚯 #Upcycling #Recycling #ZeroWaste #RPET #CircularEconomy #RegenerativeSupplyChains #2025Targets #StepIntoThePositive Brambles CHEP
Coca-Cola has launched its expansion for its rPET bottles and now offer this packaging for a larger selection of its products and this launch is accompanied by a new consumer engagement initiative focused on encouraging customers to continue recycling the bottles. In 2019 Coca-Cola introduced its first rPET bottle, which was a 500 ml Sprite bottle. Now the company has developed rPET packaging for Coca-Cola original for both 190 ml and 390 ml, as well as Wilkins Pure in 500 ml. This has been made possible through Coca-Cola’s partnership with Indorama Venture’s bottle-to-bottle recycling facility. In the article below we look at how continuously expanding a companies market to use less plastic in their packaging, is an excellent step forwards for any company aiming to reduce their plastic waste. At our 2 day conference we will have multiple speakers focused on the importance of reducing plastic packaging, for example, Claudia Rivinius the Marketing Director at STI Group will address the topic of 10xDesign: Essential Considerations for Sustainable Packaging. Highlighting the importance of the subject in the article discussed below. We are exposing over 4,000+ visitors to new ideas, market insights, and career advancement possibilities, while providing a platform to showcase your work and gain recognition.
