The Flexible Film Recycling Alliance (FFRA) has announced the launch of its new Plastic Film Recycling Directory. This new resource aims to increase plastic film recycling rates across the United States by improving consumer access to recycling collection points, and providing clear educational resources on how to responsibly recycle plastic film.
The directory is part of FFRAâs commitment to fostering greater transparency, collaboration, and progress in plastic film recycling. FFRA has pledged the following:
- Responsible Collaboration: FFRA is developing a verification program in partnership with third parties, and will work closely with collection and recycling partners to maintain integrity in recycling efforts.
- Stakeholder Engagement: FFRA will address all constructive inquiries, share its responses publicly, and encourage stakeholders to submit requests to evaluate the allianceâs impact.
- Candid Transparency: Within two years of the directoryâs launch, FFRA will publicly share verified data on its impact and progress towards increasing recycling rates.
âWe are excited to launch the Flexible Film Recycling Allianceâs Plastic Film Recycling Directory,â said PLASTICS Vice President of Sustainability, Patrick Krieger. âFFRAâs priorities include ensuring consumers know where to recycle plastic film and feel confident that their materials are being properly recycled. We believe this directory will play a critical role in increasing plastic film recycling rates across America.â
Retailers and recycling depots collecting plastic film are encouraged to join the directory. For inclusion, contact Kurt Kurzawa at [email protected].
