Some of packaging's biggest names have teamed up with WRAP in an effort to develop effective methods of collecting, sorting & reprocessing mixed plastics. Sainsbury's & Linpac are among the companies involved in trials on a project that aims to demonstrate the business case for an integrated mixed plastics waste management solution in the UK. The project will be supporting large-scale trials to recycle mixed plastics from households & retail take-back schemes.It will show how these can be sorted & reprocessed into new packaging & other high quality plastic materials.
