Insights and Analysis

Taking action to develop solutions addressing petroleum-based and related products and materials requires the engagement of the full value chain - Brand Owners, Packaging Manufacturers, Private Packagers, Retailers, Resin Producers, Recyclers, and Waste Haulers - collaboratively working to identify industry solutions and adopt best practices.

As part of the NLCRC's role in accelerating the achievement of packaging recycling solutions for our industry that drive circularity, we share the learnings and experiences gained from our exploration, research, and collaborative innovations. This may include developing tools, guidance, or recommendations for members of the value chain or other interested parties.

The NLCRC believes that openly communicating progress on our projects enables rapid adoption of circular solutions, benefitting its members and the Industry at large.
