The initiative is linked to the PackLOOP research project, which is led by IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute. <\/p>\n<p>Plastic is a great material, but we\u2019re using it in an unsustainable way. Too much new fossil-based plastic is constantly being added to the market, and far too much plastic packaging waste from businesses is being incinerated instead of being recycled. PackLOOP wants to change that.  <\/p>\n<p>The project brings together stakeholders across the entire plastics value chain, from manufacturers and users to recyclers. The goal is to make closed-loop systems for commercial plastic packaging a standard practice, rather than isolated pilot projects. <\/p>\n<p>The obstacles are well known. Previous initiatives have been too small to make a difference, the logistics of collection are too costly, and it\u2019s difficult to change how end users sort their waste. PackLOOP tackles all three.  <\/p>\n<p>Work is underway on two fronts simultaneously: developing a shared vision with clear goals for the industry and designing a shared system that makes it easy and cost-effective to collect sorted plastic packaging waste directly from businesses.<\/p>\n<p>We are participating as representatives of the producers. A circular plastics system can only work if it is based on reality, not just on the drawing board. That\u2019s where we contribute what we do best: our experience of what can actually be implemented and our knowledge of what producers need to be able to fulfill their responsibilities in a reasonable and sustainable way. As the industry\u2019s joint solutions take shape, we ensure that this perspective is included from the very beginning.   <\/p>\n<p>By signing the Plastl\u00f6ftet pledge, we make three commitments:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We are committed to the sustainable use of plastics.<\/li>\n<li>We engage in dialogue throughout the value chain to identify and develop solutions.<\/li>\n<li>We set our own measurable goals and track our progress over time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Other organizations that have signed so far include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accon.se\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Accon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coor.se\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Coor<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ivl.se\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/kullaplast.se\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kullaplast<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/Nexam, Chemical\" data-wplink-url-error=\"true\">Nexam Chemical<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.remondisrecycling.se\/?utm_source=google&#038;utm_medium=cpc&#038;utm_campaign=20260217_pmax_byt_partner&#038;gad_source=1&#038;gad_campaignid=23569681668&#038;gbraid=0AAAAAqmgkXNOSLYr-WdNrC0X_9YcCz_pq&#038;gclid=CjwKCAjw0dPRBhAPEiwAE5vTTpx3-yLXlJ_Kt137zatZde8SsHtNDWCB87LYOz2G6d5nDwRoW1UZ9BoCKyQQAvD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">REMONDIS Sweden<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Would you like to follow the project or participate in PackLOOP\u2019s open dialogue network?
