Procter & Gamble joins national effort to recycle flexible plastic wraps, bags
The American Chemistry Council (ACC, americanchemistry.com) announces that the Procter & Gamble Co. has joined the Flexible Film Recycling Group (FFRG), a self-funded group that is driving unprecedented growth in the recovery of flexible polyethylene (PE) film, wraps and bags.
“Optimizing and recovering packaging is a key part of our sustainability mission at P&G,” says Stephen Sikra, P&G Research and Development manager. “Our aim is to reduce our environmental footprint as a Company and that of the consumers who choose our products. Working with the FFRG and our value chain partners to expand film collection and recycling is a focused priority as we work toward that goal.”
