WRAP are world leaders in helping organisations achieve greater resource efficiency. The UK Circular Plastics Flagship Project Competition aims to support the delivery of the Government’s target of achieving zero avoidable plastic waste by the end of 2042, and the objectives of the UK Plastics Pact by 2025. These objectives are: 100% of plastic packaging to be reusable, recyclable or compostable; 70% of plastic packaging effectively recycled or composted; eliminate problematic or unnecessary single use packaging; a minimum of 30% average recycled content across all plastic packaging. The grant funds will support new pioneering industry led collaborative projects, focussed on unlocking the most critical, short-term barriers to improving plastics circularity, finding new innovative solutions and interventions that will remove or overcome these barriers.
