  1. PIRAP SET UP IN OCTOBER 2013 TO INVESTGATE HOW THE UK WILL MEET THE 2017 PLASTICS RECYCLING TARGET OF: 1,221,451 Tonnes of Plastics Packaging IN 2013 THE UK RECYCLED 606,000 tonnes OF WHICH 436,000 tonnes WAS EXPORTED AND 170,000 tonnes RECYCLED IN THE UK

  2. PIRAP CURRENT BREAKDOWN OF OBLIGATED PLASTICS PACKAGING IN THE UK AS FOLLOWS: CONSUMER BOTTLES 513,000 tonnes PTT – POTS, TUBS , TRAYS 640,400 tonnes NON-CONSUMER – INDUSTRIAL 248,000 tonnes NON-CONSUMER FILM 563,409 tonnes CONSUMER FILM 551,000 tonnes TOTAL 2,515,809 tonnes

  3. PIRAP IT WAS ANTICIPATED BY THE GOVERNMENT THAT THE 2017 TARGETS COULD BE MET BY : DOUBLING THE EXISTING RECYCLING RATES OF CONSUMER BOTTLES AND NON CONSUMER FILM TREBLING THE EXISTING POTS, TUBS AND TRAYS RECYCING RATE.

  4. PIRAP IN MARCH 2014 A PIRAP REPORT REVEALED THAT: THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT RISK THAT THE REQUIRED INCREASE IN POTS, TUBS AND TRAYS RECYCLED BY 2017 MAY NOT BE ACHIEVED THE SHORTFALL IS UNLIKEY TO BE OFFSET BY COLLECTIONS OF OTHER FORMATS SUCH AS CONSUMER BOTTLES AND NON-CONSUMER FILMS, WHICH WOULD ALSO NEED TO INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY

  5. PIRAP THERE ARE ALSO DOUBTS THAT THE DOUBLING OF NON-CONSUMER FILM RECYCLING WILL BE ACHIEVED DUE TO THE LACK OF CLARITY REGARDING HOW MUCH FILM IS AVAILABLE AND IN WHICH SECTORS THE PROBLEM WITH PTT RECYCLING IS THE LACK OF SORTING AND REPROCESSING INFRASTRUCTURE, AND A LACK OF FUNDING, POOR QUALITY AND A LACK OF END USER MARKETS.

  6. PIRAP THE OUTCOME IS THAT ACHIEVING THE 2017 TARGETS IS IN JEOPARDY! IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED BY PIRAP THAT MORE REGULATORY AND NON REGULATORY DRIVERS WILL BE NEEDED TO INCENTIVISE INVESTMENT IN UK SORTING AND THE USE OF REYCLE CONTENT.

  7. A GOVERNMENT STUDY PARTICIPANTS – WRAP – VALPAK - DEFRA INITIAL FINDINGS: IN 2013 THE FLOW OF PLASTICS ONTO THE UK MARKET WAS 2,260,000 tonnes WHICH IS 330,000 tonnes LESS THAN THE 2,515,809 tonnes OF PLASTICS PACKAGING THAT DEFRA HAS BASED THE RECYCLING TARGETS ON. COMMENT FROM THE ACP – “THE UK IS DOING BETTER ON PLASTICS RECYCLING THAN WAS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT”

  8. PROPOSED 2030 EU TARGETS ALL PACKAGING WASTE 60% 2020 70% 2025 80% 2030 ALUMINIUM – METALS – GLASS 70% 2020 80% 2025 90% 2030 PAPER – BOARD 85% 2020 90% 2025 90% 2030 PLASTICS 45% 2020 60% 2025 60% 2030 WOOD 50% 2020 65% 2025 80% 2030
