The share of plastic packaging waste that gets recycled is growing. Investments are being made in better collection, smarter sorting technology and more processing capacity at recyclers. Mono material pouches, such as mono PE or mono PP, support this because they are easier to recognise and sort, increasing the chance of high quality recycling. The result is more material returning into the chain and less ending up as residual waste. Performance differs by country and municipality, and clear sorting instructions on the packaging help.
