- PP is a highly recyclable material and has wide application across numerous packaging formats and industries.
- It is highly durable and affordable, and can be used across numerous different packaging formats.
- Available in high and low barrier structures.
- Considerably better than most non-recyclable multi-material laminates
- Made from virgin petrochemical materials.
- More cost-effective than most bioplastic alternatives to flexible packaging.
- Soft plastic recycling is challenging. This material either needs to go into a dedicated polyethylene stream (#2 or #4) or a drop-off soft plastics collection stream, which are limited although growing rapidly.
- Doesn’t contribute meaningfully in moving towards a circular economy but it’s a starting point.
