CEFLEX’s vision is for all flexible packaging to be collected and made available for sorting and recycling - with at least 80% entering a recycling process and these materials returned to the economy. Over 140 companies, associations and organisations are collaborating to make this happen.
Ensuring all flexible packaging is designed so after use it can be collected, sorted and recycled - with sustainable markets for the recycled materials - is a key part of achieving this vision. A first edition of 'Designing for a Circular Economy Guidelines' will be launched in early 2020 to help achieve this.
Follow our Mission Circular at www.ceflex.eu, LinkedIn and twitter @MissionCircular.
This September 2020 CEFLEX webinar session discussed the advantages (and disadvantages) of separate and mixed waste collection with post sorting of the recyclables for achieving a circular economy.
It was hosted by Graham Houlder of CEFLEX and ETH business school representatives Catharina Benning and Marianne Kuhlmann.
It featured industry experts:
- Stuart Hayward-Higham, SUEZ
- Robert Corijn, ATTERO
- Michael Langen, HTP Engineering
The session set out to explain the collection challenges we face in Europe and why a mixture of approaches are needed to collect all flexible packaging. We explore key factors, like legislation, technical realities and financial considerations that impact the extent to which respective systems are used.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) plays a pivotal role in funding, coordinating and facilitating the recycling of consumer flexible and all packaging. CEFLEX and its stakeholders have been working to ensure EPR mechanisms are able to drive cost-effective collection and recycling of flexible packaging to make it circular, sustainable and economically viable.
This webinar from April 2020 by CEFLEX and EXPRA - Extended Producer Responsibility Alliance outlines some of the key issues and mechanisms.
Experimental Study of Some Agro-Industrial Residues Targeted As Partial Subst...ijceronline
Cement industry belonged to the largest energy consumers’ factories in Benin. The Cement Complex of Onigbolo (CCO) had particularly undergone the disconcert effects of petroleum blaze costs of last years. This paper dealt with experimental investigations on agricultural/industrial wastes as fractional substitutes of the 7,000 L/h fuel-oil burnt in CCO-clinker furnace. Combustion of about 58 tons of five targeted agro-wastes and worn-tires, up to now ignored or forsaken in situ, even incinerated in open-air because unwieldy, made it possible saving more than 1.5 MF(CFA) in only 100-hours running. Experimental results also showed how far the cement process could contribute to towns/villages/cities cleanup (environmental problems reduction) combined with energy needs fulfillment. Among the studied agro-wastes and in expectation of adequate control and optimization of the convenient pretreatment for improving worn-tires’ combustion, results revealed that wood-sawdust was the alternate-fuel technically and economically well adapted to this tested furnace, better than cottonseeds-hulls preferred by CCO-authorities. Compatibility of the burnt wood-sawdust with cement quality characteristics, relatively high calorific value, availability and abundance throughout the year at existent sawmills, technically justified its choice. Conversely, results furthermore proved that no significant substitution rate can be reached, using only one kind agro-waste: therefore cottonseeds-hulls can be combined to sawdust
Designing flexible packaging so it can be easily collected, sorted and recycled is a fundamental of the circular economy. But how does that happen in practice?

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
