We assist companies and governments to design and implement recycling programs by connecting the value chain between collection, sorting, recycling services, and end markets. Specifically, in Germany we helped to create the world’s first nationwide EPR program for household packaging, including hard-to-recycle plastics like flexible films, a model is considered the forerunner of the European Union’s current regulatory structure.
