‘Toward circularity of post-consumer flexible packaging in Asia’

In November 2017 an Amcor-commissioned report on recycling initiatives in Asia was published. The report attempts to highlight the challenges and opportunities in addressing concerns around postconsumer flexible packaging.
Given the backdrop of poor waste collection infrastructure and limited recycling technologies, this report shares insights so as to influence directed solutions to the snowballing post-consumer flexible waste situation in Asia. It examines flexible packaging within the context of Asia. It then provides an overview of waste management realities in Asia, especially in India, Indonesia and the Philippines. The various collection and recycling efforts are compared.
