Flint Joins Ceflex Recycling Group
EUROPE—
Flint Group Packaging, consumables suppliers to the global print and packaging industry, has lent its support to the CEFLEX Quality Recycling Project, co-developing and trialing duplex laminated flexible packaging comprising Polypropylene (PP) recyclate (rPP). The project takes direct aim at the significant issue of low recycling rates in consumer households . Representing a large-scale collaboration between more than 180 organisations,
associations and stakeholders, the CEFLEX project has made positive progress in showcasing the potential of a recycle-ready mono-material substrate. Following a series of five semi-industrial trials to test the viability of printing on films made using rPP resin, results showed that the use of post-consumer recyclate in the packaging structure did not inhibit the printing or converting process of a monopolymer PP duplex laminated barrier pouch in non-food applications. The next stage of the project will see the creation of an industrial scale QRP waste processing plant, which is anticipated to be in active commercial use by 2023.
