Circular Packaging

Accelerate the transition to circular plastic packaging by innovations in material redesign, recycling and impact assessment.

At Brightlands Materials Center we work on redesigning the polymers of packaging materials to become recyclable. We also improve the quality of recycled material to be able to use it for new applications. We provide knowledge and insights into what an LCA can mean for your packaging, knowledge of mechanical and chemical recycling and what you need to know in terms of policies and measures to ensure that your packaging will be ready for the circular economy of the future.
