The supply agreement would enable Amcor to purchase SYNDIGO™ rPE resin, manufactured at NOVA Chemicals’ first mechanical recycling facility in Connersville, Indiana, which is projected to be in operation as early as 2025.
The concept is intended for food producers and fillers who have up to now been using pre-made spout pouches and will be presented for the first time at the international trade fair Prod&Pack in Lyon, France, from November 21 to 23, 2023 (hall 6, booth J75).
The ceremony was held on October 12, at Grosvenor House in London, where 28 awards were given out in a variety of categories related to packaging excellence.
These two grants are in addition to the four that AMP and Crown have previously funded as part of a program in collaboration with The Recycling Partnership.
Cans without sleeves have a better chance of recoverability, according to the Aluminum Association’s design guide, which explains that digital printing technology is now price competitive with shrink-wrapped cans, while maintaining the recyclability of the aluminum.
Officially launched on October 1, these dedicated recycling stations are available now in participating Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N' Wash stores across the country.
