Open consultation launched to enhance and refine Designing for a Circular Economy Guidelines

CEFLEX, The Circular Economy for Flexible Packaging initiative, has announced it is inviting feedback, between 6 December 2019 – 17 January 2020, to enhance and refine phase one of the Designing for a Circular Economy Guidelines before publication in the first quarter of 2020.

This first edition focuses on the largest proportion of the post-consumer flexible packaging waste stream, polyolefin-based flexible packaging structures.

The guidelines aim to make packaging suitable for collection, sorting and recycling after use – giving clarity to brand owners, retailers, converters and others in the value chain and a clear roadmap for recycling infrastructure.
