In this episode, Lindy Hughson, Managing Editor & Publisher of PKN Packaging News, talks with Professor Edward Kosior of Nextek about their NEXTLOOPP project which aims to provide companies with recycled food grade polypropylene plastics for their packaging.

Edward gives us an overview of the project and a detailed review into the regulations, process, and continued development of recycled plastic packaging. We discuss the nuances of different plastics, how businesses can implement recycled plastic packaging, and the common pitfalls faced when recycling. 

We also get an insight into the future of circular plastics in packaging, how Australia can further develop their recycling infrastructure, and how we can overcome roadblocks that are impeding the widespread adoption of circular plastic packaging.
