I – A circular economy for flexible packagings<\/h1>\n

CEFLEX<\/span><\/a> Europe is acommitted initiative targeting a circular economy for flexible packaging, ensuring products reach consumers safe and fresh.

II – Reduction of the plastic waste<\/h1>\n

CITEO<\/a> is a French private company dealing with the collection, the sorting and the recycling of packaging and paper. Currently,\u00a070%<\/strong>\u00a0of household packaging and\u00a057.5%<\/strong>\u00a0of paper are recycled in France thanks to these first eco-citizen gestures. Toray Films Europe has an R&D partnership with CITEO to improve the design of existing flexible packaging structure in order to enhance the sorting and the recycling efficiency. By offering thinner films (PET films down to 6 and 4.5 \u00b5m), Toray Films Europe contributes directly to new potential solutions and to reduce the plastic amount being used.<\/p>\n

III – Recycling projects<\/h1>\n

CELAB\u00a0<\/a>is a professional European collaborative initiative which aims at increasing the recycling percentage in self-adhesive labels. It concerns the matrix and the release liner, which are wasted products after use. The objective is to identify recycling opportunities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

IV – Recyclability of flexible packaging<\/h1>\n

BOPET Films Europe<\/span><\/a> is an association representing all actors of the polyester supply chain interested in sustainable alternatives. Recently, they launched the Vita Nova initiative, a new consortium of industry players promoting the use of mono-PET flexible packaging in the circular economy. Currently, PET films are the only commercially available option for the use of food contact approved recycled content. Toray Films Europe, thanks to its PET films ranges, offers heat sealable and food-contact approved films which are fully suitable for flexible packaging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
