1 Recycling of Packaging Kiril Dimitrov
2 The Packaging Challenge Safe food packaging with desired functionality developed to: minimize food waste & transport products efficiently provide convenience & information be new & attractive Sourced from packaging suppliers that are in compliance with Woolworths policies Designed considering key environmental priorities At the lowest overall cost
3 Few other things to talk about What packaging is recyclable? What packaging is currently being widely recycled? What recyclers need to know about the future and what you have to be thinking about?
4 What packaging is recyclable? Widely referred to the reprocessability of the material All glass is 100% recyclable endlessly All metal is 100% and infinitely recyclable All paper is 100% recyclable up to 7 times
5 What packaging is recyclable? All thermoplastics are also 100% recyclable PET, PE, PVC, PP, PS
6 What packaging is recyclable? Multi-layer plastics can now be recycled too
7 What packaging is recyclable?
8 What packaging is recyclable?
9 Recycling It is about: - Local collection facilities - Sorting infrastructure - Mechanical recycling technology availability - Design for recyclability Materials & components #1 PET bottle is recyclable, but tray, cup, clamshell are not Colours (Clear bottle is widely recyclable vs. brown considered contaminant) Additives oxygen scavengers, oxo-biodegradable, etc. Labeling sleeves, direct print, stickers, labels of incompatible materials Adhesives difficult to separate and wash in a process are contaminants Accurate labeling material identification or consumer focused labeling and instruction Other components triggers, lidding, barrier layers are contaminants
10 Local collection facilities

21 Recyclability It is all about understanding: The local collection, sorting and recycling technology and processes, while increasing the value of the recyclate to ensure higher value recycled products
22 Few things to talk about What packaging is recyclable? What packaging is currently being widely recycled? What the local packaging industry needs to know about the future and what they have to be thinking about?
