Washington D.C.— As the Plastics Recycling Conference takes place in Texas, The Dallas Morning News has featured an op-ed written by Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) Vice President of Sustainability, Patrick Krieger. The piece focuses on PLASTICS’ recently launched Flexible Film Recycling Alliance and how the industry is working to increase consumer confidence in plastic film recycling.
“The road to a future where most plastic products can be recycled will require acknowledging and addressing many systemic challenges. We know no single company can do this alone, and we believe that our industry has a role to play in creating solutions. That’s why we recently launched a new initiative, the Flexible Film Recycling Alliance.”
