UK project: Feasibility flexible laminated packaging recycling

In an innovative public-private partnership, Anthesis LRS is leading a project to assess the feasibility of including flexible laminated packaging, such as food and drink pouches, pet food pouches and toothpaste tubes, in existing household recycling schemes and recovering the aluminium from this packaging. The project is funded by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).
Different methods of engaging with residents and collecting the material at the kerbside are being tested and the results of the trials will help determine best practice to increase the amount of flexible laminated packaging collected and recycled in England (News Item Anthesis LRS, 20 March 2015).
