Funded through the Smart Sustainable Plastic Packaging (SSPP) challenge’s future plastic packaging solutions round two competition, the projects will support a broad range of innovation, including:
- encouraging consumers to move to refill and reuse
- new edible and biodegradable bio-based materials
- advanced recycling technologies
- plastic pollution mapping
The SSPP challenge represents the largest UK government investment into sustainable plastic packaging. The projects announced today will go on to support the achievement of the UK Plastics Pact.
