<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nNEXTLOOPP was launched by\u00a0Nextek Ltd\u00a0in October 2020. It recently shared the results of its tracer-based sorting trials and commenced production trials of food-grade compliant rPP, allegedly making over 60 different products from NEXTLOOPP\u2019s four grades of PPristine food compliant and INRT rPP grade resins. The company says the INRT-grade recycled polypropylene has been developed specifically for packaging that requires no odour and no migration challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NEXTLOOPP claims that through using a combination of technologies developed by Nextek Ltd to separate food-grade PP from the rest, and then decontaminate the polymer to ensure compliance with food-grade standards in the UK, EU and the USA, it can identify and sort any number of pack variants from shower gel bottles to yoghurt pots in any plastic type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Delphine Trillat, materials science domain leader at L\u2019Or\u00e9al, says: \u201cWe have been working for many years to develop packaging made from high quality post-consumer recycled polymers. Today, we are pleased to join the NEXTLOOPP Project Team in order to join efforts and boost the circular pathway for food-grade rPP packaging, with such a promising technology for the years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Professor Edward Kosior, founder and CEO of Nextek Ltd and NEXTLOOPP says: \u201cThanks to L\u2019Or\u00e9al\u2019s long-term commitment to sustainable packaging, it is the ideal participant to trial our high purity recycled polypropylene resins. We look forward to closing the PP loop with them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nextek\u2019s NEXTLOOPP project was the overall winner<\/a> of Packaging Europe\u2019s Sustainability Awards 2021, and also received the \u2018Driving the Circular Economy\u2019 award. In March this year, L\u2019Or\u00e9al partnered<\/a> with Texen<\/a> on a cap for Biotherm<\/a>\u2019s skincare collection, apparently made from 100% recycled polypropylene (PP) and able to be adapted for different container shapes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NEXTLOOPP\u00a0has partnered with\u00a0L\u2019Or\u00e9al\u00a0as part of its project that is aiming to create food-grade recycled polypropylene (rPP) from post-consumer packaging waste.
