UK: Industry group to tackle recycling black plastic packaging

19 October 2017

A cross-industry group has agreed a range of new actions and commitments to tackle the challenge of recycling black plastic packaging. The work is being conducted through reviewing available and developing sorting technologies and recycling markets to understand optimal opportunities, and implementing feasible, commercial long-term sustainable solutions.
The group has made clear a commitment to the industry and public to find sustainable solutions by the end of 2018 that will enable the recycling of all black plastic packaging bottles, pots, tubs and trays. To reach this goal the group has developed a Black Plastic Packaging Recycling Roadmap (News Item Recoup, 25 September 2017).
