14. 612.807.5341 / claire@packagingtechnologyandresearch.com / PackagingTechnologyAndResearch.com TODAY’S TOPIC: Challenges - Overview Challenges to establishing a circular economy for plastics packaging: 1. Clean Packaging 2. Economics of Collection and Sorting

15. 612.807.5341 / claire@packagingtechnologyandresearch.com / PackagingTechnologyAndResearch.com 1. What are the key barriers to establishing a plastics packaging circular economy 2. Given the transit of produce and food across borders, what are the key considerations the produce industry should consider when seeking to promote the adoption of a plastics packaging circular economy? 3. Given not all resins are readily suitable for enabling a circular economy, how should the produce and food industry respond – migrate to a subset of more suitable resins (PET, PP), promote circular on more challenged resins (PVC, PS), or some combination? 4. Mixed material packaging (e.g., laminates, others) are increasingly recognized as problematic for recycling and enabling a circular economy. What are the emerging solutions or options to deal with these mixed material applications? 5. Although 100% PCR content is promoted by some as the desired end state for recycled plastics, is it achievable or pragmatic for all forms of packaging? Are there levels of PCR (as a function of resin?) which are emerging as practical and pragmatic targets? 6. The Canada Plastics Pact just issued its packaging roadmap – and like other countries, there is an increasing drive to promote the adoption of a circular economy. Where does this leave alternative packaging options such as reusables, compostables or biodegradables? TODAY’S TOPIC: Challenges -

16. 612.807.5341 / claire@packagingtechnologyandresearch.com / PackagingTechnologyAndResearch.com TODAY’S TOPIC: Challenges - Clean Packaging • Packaging is approved based on its defined use • Uses change with reuse, recycling and in biodegradation • Reuse of packaging may release additives • Recycled processes can screen out additives • Composting releases chemicals and GHG as degradation happens • Clean packaging allows for a safe circular economy
