Unfortunately, only 8% is recycled from kerbside collections.
The FPF FlexCollect project, which began in May 2022, is the UK’s most extensive pilot for household collection and recycling of flexible plastic.
The £3 million FlexCollect initiative, is co-managed by a collaboration that includes the project’s co-funders, Ecosurety, Recoup, SUEZ recycling and recovery UK, and WRAP.
Gareth Morton, Discovery Manager at Ecosurety says:
“We are really pleased to usher in the new year with Maldon District Council’s participation in the FPF FlexCollect project.
It is really exciting and encouraging to have local authorities coming on board and see the project momentum building.
Ultimately, this project will benefit communities right across England.”
