Recent investments \u2014 including the modernisation of its wash plant and upgrades to quality and safety systems \u2014 have improved the consistency and quality of recycled output, enabling an additional 2,800 tonnes of recyclate to be used in high-performance flexible packaging applications.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>\u201cRecycling flexible plastics at scale is essential for achieving circularity and ensuring supply chain resilience,\u201d said Gerald Rebitzer, Vice President Sustainability Operations &amp; Advocacy at Amcor. \u201cThese investments demonstrate our commitment to enabling high-performance packaging solutions with RecyClass certified recycled content.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Both Heanor and its other recycling centre at Steinfeld facility in Germany operate fully integrated recycling systems \u2014 including sorting, grinding, washing, separation and reprocessing \u2014 to convert flexible plastic waste into circular packaging materials for non-contact sensitive applications, collation shrink films for beverage multi-packs and shrink films for tray-wrapped goods such as canned goods and other FMCG products, as well as pallet stretch wrap films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Each site maintains rigorous in-house testing to ensure quality, consistency and traceability \u2014 helping customers meet the requirements of the UK Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT) and upcoming EU PPWR mandates. The facilities also include onsite water treatment systems that allow water to be treated and recirculated, reducing environmental impact. Both sites are certified Zero Waste to Landfill by Valpak, with RecyClass certification underscoring Amcor\u2019s commitment to transparency and industry-recognised standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The completion of the upgrades to Amcor\u2019s recycling facility in Heanor, Derbyshire, were commemorated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by local MP Linsey Farnsworth. The event celebrated a key milestone in the company\u2019s investment in UK recycling infrastructure and commitment to circular packaging solutions.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amcor has completed significant upgrades to its recycling facility in Heanor, UK \u2013 which plays a vital role in converting post-consumer and industrial flexible plastic waste into high-quality recycled polymers, used in Amcor\u2019s flexible packaging applications across multiple markets.
