Advanced Mechanical Recycling Needs EPR & Investment to Scale Circularity

Advanced mechanical recycling can process post-consumer household flexible packaging into high-quality recyclates. However, scaling requires systemic enablers, such as robust EPR schemes, mandated recycled content targets, and concessionary capital, to improve investment viability and drive demand, according to Jean-Loup Masson, chief technical advisor for circular solutions at Alliance to End Plastic Waste. Alliance to End Plastic Waste, a global NGO, has published a report titled The Quest for Quality: Scaling Advanced Mechanical Recycling to Meet Recycled Content Targets for Flexibles, outlining a blueprint to enhance flexible packaging circularity.
