Iranpolymer\/Baspar <\/em><\/strong>At present, different manufacturers use various forms of rPET (Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate) for manufacturing, which means it makes recycling trays en masse virtually impossible as different materials need to go into different recycling streams and sorting them out is confusing for the consumer and time consuming, costly and not commercially viable for recyclers.<\/p>\n

In contrast, plastic drinks bottles are consistently made of exactly the same material, which means they can all be recycled and the material fed back into the manufacturing process.<\/p>\n

Daniel Coates, LVF Packaging\u2019s Business Development Director, said: \u201cThere\u2019s been a huge amount of time and effort spent on finding plastic alternatives for packaging over the years, but to date, nothing has come close to matching it as the best option. The difficulties though arrive when different materials are used to make the same type of products and so restrict the viability of them being recycled.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cClear rPET Mono is, without a shadow of doubt, the perfect solution. It\u2019s cheaper than standard rPET PE, which is a huge commercial plus point for it, while an agreement to use it as standard across all packaging would change the face of recycling in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAdmittedly, it\u2019s not all plain sailing, as it can be more difficult to seal than rPET PE, but a lot of work is being done by an ever-increasing number of manufacturers, meaning this issue will be resolved quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

WHAT is clear rPET Mono?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Clear rPET mono is a type of packaging made from recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) that is strong, has a high gloss, and is suitable for showcasing food products. It is ideal for poultry packaging and can handle high temperatures. rPET is environmentally friendly and offers a glass-like clarity for clear presentation of food<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMany packaging manufacturers are already moving to clear rPET Mono, so the industry is going in the right direction. However, these positive steps aren\u2019t supported by the Government. There simply isn\u2019t a nationwide approach to recycling; instead, everything is left down to the local councils, who, as we know, have different recycling rules and different coloured recycling bins \u2013 a recipe for confusion up and down the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Government needs to step in, take the recycling matter out of the hands of individual local authorities and create a joined-up approach to increase recycling across the board. By doing so, they would remove consumer confusion; throw their support behind the packaging manufacturers and retailers in the strides they\u2019re taking to stop plastic waste ending up in landfill; and, as a result, point the way to the sea change that will end the demonisation of the plastic packaging and create a new circular economy that the entire country can be proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n
