US: Study to examine recovery of flexible packaging

An industry collaborative has announced new research aimed at recovering more packaging that is currently destined for landfill. The project, Materials Recovery for the Future, brings together brand owners, manufacturers, and packaging industry organizations that are committed to enhancing recovery solutions for increasingly popular flexible film and packaging options.
Resource Recycling Systems (RRS) will conduct the first phase of the research, which will include baseline testing of the existing sortation technologies commonly used in material recovery facilities, such as screens and optical scanners (News Release American Chemistry Council, 15 September 2015).
