The Good
- PP is a highly recyclable material and has wide application across numerous packaging formats and industries
- It is highly durable and affordable, and can be used across numerous different packaging formats
- Available in high and low barrier structures
- Considerably better than most non-recyclable multi-material laminates
The Bad
- Made from virgin petrochemical materials
- More cost-effective than most bioplastic alternatives to flexible packaging
- Soft plastic recycling is challenging. This material either needs to go into a dedicated polypropylene stream (#5) or a drop-off soft plastics collection stream, which are limited although growing rapidly
- Doesn't contribute meaningfully in moving towards a circular economy, but it's a starting point
