Chemical or advanced recycling can complement existing recycling technologies. Fortunately, alternative technologies are under development in the field of chemical recycling, some of which will reach greater production scales in the near future. For now, the recognition and acceptance of advanced recycling will allow more flexible packaging to be recycled, and for us to reuse these recycled materials in the same applications.
In cooperation with suppliers and with an ISCC Plus certification scheme in place, we are implementing new solutions in close partnership with our customers.
As the availability of food-grade recycled plastics is a challenge, especially when it comes to flexible packaging, chemically recycled feedstocks are required to allow to integration or accounting of recycled material to food packaging applications, which is possible by a mass balance approach like ISCC Plus scheme.
