Benchmarking study dispels foodservice packaging recycling myths
Nearly 70 material recovery facilities responded to identify factors affecting acceptance of foodservice packaging
A recent benchmarking survey commissioned by the Foodservice Packaging Institute (FPI, fpi.org) finds widespread but varied acceptance of foodservice packaging by material recovery facilities.
“We are encouraged by the number of material recovery facilities already accepting various foodservice packaging,” says FPI President Lynn M. Dyer. "We have found that both the industry and consumers often think these products are not recycled. This study not only refutes that assumption but shows promise for increased acceptance."
