The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) and Canada\u2019s Circular Plastics Taskforce (CPT) have announced a strategic partnership to enhance plastics recycling systems in North America.<\/p>\n

By combining their expertise and resources, the organisations aim to develop innovative solutions that increase the volume of recycled plastics and promote a circular economy.<\/p>\n

APR and CPT share a commitment to improving packaging design and recycling infrastructure.<\/p>\n

APR\u2019s focus on packaging compatibility and recycling tools aligns with CPT\u2019s efforts to optimise plastics management in Canada.<\/p>\n

Through collaborative pilot projects and research initiatives, the partnership will explore ways to address challenges associated with hard-to-recycle plastics such as flexibles and PET thermoforms.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Circular Plastics Taskforce is helping to develop and implement sortation and recycling solutions in Canada for hard-to-recycle plastics in the context of extended producer responsibility programmes across the country,\u201d said Steve Alexander, APR president and CEO.<\/p>\n
