This document discusses challenges and opportunities around recycling large mixed rigid plastics and plastic bags/film. It notes that large mixed rigid plastics recycling has significantly increased from 250 million pounds in 2007 to 479 million pounds in 2009. However, curbside collection programs can be confusing to consumers over what items are acceptable. The market for recycled plastics has strengthened in recent years but quality remains a major concern. Plastic bags/film recycling faces challenges with litter and endangering animals but key opportunities include large retail store and municipal drop-off collection programs with a focus on education. Non-structural plastic lumber and pallets/crates are potential end markets.

The global metalized BOPP films market is expected to grow significantly over the next seven years due to rising demand from the food and electronics packaging industries. Metalized BOPP films have properties like transparency and sealability that make them well-suited for packaging applications. Additionally, their water and air resistance will help fuel market growth. Asia Pacific is currently the largest market for these films and growth in flexible packaging and implementation of new technologies will likely cause the region to remain dominant over the forecast period.
Private sector intervention to correct market failure
The private sector uses four main measures to address market failures:
1. Corporate codes of conduct that set standards for product safety and quality as well as social and environmental issues to address information failures.
2. Corporate social responsibility programs that voluntarily reduce negative externalities and increase positive ones to improve social welfare.
3. Voluntary agreements with governments where firms commit to gradually reduce pollution emissions over time.
4. Corporate ethics codes that establish norms of behavior for employees to internalize external costs as private costs.
While these measures can improve welfare by reducing market failures, they also increase business costs, which may be passed onto consumers as higher prices.

Production of Conventional Fuel from Plastic Waste and Biomass by Pyrolysis
The document discusses the production of fuel from plastic waste and biomass via pyrolysis. It begins with background information on plastics and biomass. The methodology section describes the experimental setup for pyrolyzing plastic alone or with biomass. Various plastic types and biomass were pyrolyzed alone and in combination. The liquid fuel yield was highest for mixtures containing biomass, ranging from 64-69.6% yield. The quality of the obtained fuels was analyzed and found to be similar to diesel. Residual solids from biomass pyrolysis were converted to nano-silica. Thus, pyrolysis can convert waste plastic and biomass into useful fuels and materials while addressing environmental issues.
Biopackaging Technique: The way forward
While biopackaging offers clear environmental benefits over traditional plastics, its widespread adoption faces significant challenges. Biopackaging materials are still much more expensive than conventional plastics and have inferior performance. Additionally, the lack of dedicated waste management systems limits its viability. As a result, biopackaging is currently restricted to niche applications where its drawbacks do not apply, such as organic fresh foods. Public policies could play only a minor role in supporting biopackaging due to the large price differential and challenges around waste management.

The company has an experienced management team and strong early customer interest, positioning it for rapid growth as consumer demand increases for sustainable packaging solutions.
IES Webinar: Good plastic, bad plastic?
Over the past few years numerous campaigns have attempted to reduce our reliance on plastic. Recently attention has moved from supermarket plastic bags to drink straws and bottle manufacturers.
But has plastic been unfairly demonised? Might bio-derived, biodegradable plastics be kinder to the environment and acceptable to consumers or do these alternatives do more harm than good?
In this webinar, Julie Hill, explores the dilemmas, myths, science and unanswered questions surrounding our use of plastics, drawing on work done by the Green Alliance and WRAP (Waste and Resources Action Programme).
