Winpak Ltd. (“Winpak” or the “Company”) co-authored a White
Paper with
Circular
Matters on the value of polypropylene (PP) in packaging
segments. The paper provides an overview
of polypropylene’s unique performance properties, the extent to which it is
currently recycled, end-use trends for recycled PP, and steps that can be taken
to improve recycling collection access and ensure the continuing use of PP in
packaging.
Winpak is a founding member of the Polypropylene Recycling Coalition along
with other members of the packaging value chain like retailers, recyclers, and resin
manufacturers. The Company sees PP as a leading resin for essential packaging in food
& beverage, dairy, protein, and healthcare markets. Polypropylene’s
combination of thermal, mechanical, and barrier properties make it an excellent
choice for a variety of products to reduce food waste and keep food safe and
fresh. Polypropylene is also one of the
lowest emitters of greenhouse gas (GHG) of all plastic resins.
“Any real change in the industry begins with education”,
states Phillip Crowder, Winpak’s Director, Corporate Sustainability. “I’m
thankful for the opportunity to work with Circular Matters in creating this
White Paper. Our goal is the paper
provides important knowledge on the value of
polypropylene in promoting a Circular Economy for packaging”.
