TheAmcor灵活电影was printed and converted by Amcor. The prototype KitKat wrapper demonstrates the opportunity to close the loop on recycling flexible packaging. The new wrapper was developed using Amcor’s expertise in incorporating recycled content into its packaging. The company also has a strong track record of innovation to deliver more recyclable solutions for its customers.
Partnering together, Amcor, Nestlé, CurbCycle, iQ Renew, Licella, Viva Energy Australia, LyondellBasell, REDcycle, and Taghleef Industries all leveraged their individual expertise in collecting and processing the flexible film waste to create the prototype wrapper, which is made with 30% recycled polypropylene.

“对于AMCOR来说，这是一个令人兴奋的时刻，我们参与该项目完全符合我们的承诺，以确保我们的所有包装旨在在2025年到2025年可回收或重复使用。”新西兰。“作为消费者包装的全球领导者，我们很自豪能够在设计满足消费者需求的结构方面为我们的专业知识做出贡献，并具有负责任的生活，可以在食品级包装中重新处理和重复使用。”
Sandra Martinez, CEO of Nestlé Australia, points to this launch as solid evidence that there is a pathway to solving the challenges of recycling flexible packaging materials. Brand owners like Nestlé, she adds, will play a key role in driving demand for such food-grade recycled materials and creating market conditions that will ensure all stakeholders throughout the value chain view these materials “as a resource and not waste.”

Here are the contributions made by the various participants in this particular project:
§REDcycle和CurbCycle, collected households’ flexible film waste, some from REDcycle bins and some from the kerbside collection trial.
§iQ Renewsorted those bags in their Material Recovery Facility (MRF), removed the contaminants, and did the primary processing to create a feedstock.
§Licella转换后的plastic to oil using their Australian-developed advanced recycling technology, Cat-HTR.
§Viva Energy Australia精制合成油。
§LyondellBasellmade food grade polypropylene.
§Taghleef Industries制作了金属化的胶片。
§Amcor打印并创建包装器。
