Nov. 24 Webinar: Top 10 Packaging Challenges for Recycling in a MRF

Written on: November 14, 2014 by SprayTM

This PAC NEXT webinar will share the key findings of the Top 10 Packaging Challenges in a MRF, a PAC NEXT project initiated to inform stakeholders, especially packaging producers, about end-of-life challenges for the recycling of packaging materials at a material recovery facility (MRF). The information presented in this webinar will aim to (1) inform stakeholders about why a package may or may not be recyclable and whether simple design changes can help increase recovery and recycling in a MRF, and (2) identify opportunities for improved communication and education across the value chain (including consumers) on how to make packaging materials more recyclable when sent through a MRF.

Join us for this one-hour PAC NEXT webinar with members of our project team – Daniel Lantz, Green By Nature, Keith Fanta, P&G, David Yousif, City of Hamilton, Trevor Barton, Region of Peel and Dick Lilly, Northwest Product Stewardship Council who will share their knowledge, experiences and insights.
