Avery Dennison Label and Packaging Materials’ Clear Biax- ially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) film portfolio has been certified to comply with the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) Critical Guidance Protocol for HDPE recycling.The Av- ery Dennison BOPP portfolio is reportedly the first to pass testing, and the company is committed to expanding the portfolio of film materials with pressure sensitive emulsion acrylic adhesives that meet the APR HDPE Critical Guidance moving forward. The announcement gives brands in the per- sonal care and beauty space, as well as other segments that useAvery Dennison clear BOPP films on high-density polyeth- ylene (HDPE) plastics, validation that the labels will separate cleanly from the substrate using standard recycling processes. The Recycling Partnership Funds “Every Bottle Back” The Recycling Partnership, Falls Church,Virginia, and the companies that support it will extend $520,000 to the city of Kenosha,Wisconsin, to help provide 96-gallon recycling collection carts for some 32,000 households. The consortium said Kenosha has been “selected for in- vestment under Every Bottle Back, a breakthrough initiative to improve the collection and recycling of plastic bottles.” The $520,000 will help more than 32,000 households convert from a plastic bag recycling system to 96-gallon, curbside recycling carts. Currently, Kenosha’s recyclable materials are sent to a ma- terial recovery facility (MRF) that does not accept bagged recyclables, resulting in unnecessary landfilling of scrap ma- terials including plastic bottles. Over the next 10 years, the change to the Kenosha program could yield 27,000 tons of new recyclables, including 1,050 tons of polyethylene tere- phthalate (PET) bottles. Launched in October 2019 by the American Beverage As- sociation (ABA), Every Bottle Back is an initiative to reduce the beverage industry’s plastic footprint. Study: PFAS Disposal Increases Contamination According to a study published in Chemosphere, scientists at the Environmental Working Group (EWG), Washington, D.C., have concluded that burning, discarding and flushing waste containing the toxic fluorinated chemicals known as PFAS all contribute to environmental contamination. The three standard practices for waste management out- lined in the review, such as landfilling,wastewater treatment and incineration, have been found to not effectively contain or destroy PFAS. “The three common ‘disposal’ options for getting rid of PFAS do not eliminate these contaminants but rather end up just returning either the same chemicals or their byproducts back into the environment,” said Tasha Stoiber, EWG senior scientist and primary author of the study, in a release.“PFAS disposal is really just another step in the contamination cycle.”
