The US consumes approximately 12 BILLION POUNDS of flexible plastic packaging each year. FPP includes plastic films, wraps, bags, and pouches; it is one of the fastest-growing consumer packaging formats and has been a challenge to recycle. Until now.

A recent research pilot, sponsored by the Materials Recovery for the Future (MRFF) collaborative, confirmed that FPP can be sorted and recycled at a material recovery facility (MRF).

This webinar will explain the new international requirements for exports and imports of plastic recyclables or scrap. In May 2019, 187 countries decided to significantly restrict international trade in plastic scrap and waste to help address the improper disposal of plastic waste and reduce its leakage into the environment.
