Recycling initiatives continue to be one of the most active sustainability areas driven by challenging Plastic Pacts around the world that are part of a three-pronged objective to deliver 100% recyclable packaging by 2025. The UK packaging tax that requires 30% recycled content is influencing change as well as the focus on stretching recycling targets. We are seeing more chemical recycling initiatives as well as recycled PS and PP developments coming to our attention.

Purina is an American subsidiary of Swiss multinational food and drink conglomerate Nestlé, and is one of the biggest pet food providers in the world. Recently, they trialled a pilot study in the Netherlands, testing the level of success with recyclable packaging under their Felix brand. In response to the trial’s performance, they have recently launched mono-material recyclable pouches made of polypropylene for two of their major brands across Europe: Gourmet Mon Petit and Felix Soup. The recyclable pouches are to be sold in batches of six in recyclable cardboard boxes. This initiative is congruent with the company’s objective of delivering entirely recyclable or reusable packaging by 2025.
