2. The New Plastic Economy – Circular Model
THE NEW PLASTICS ECONOMY RETHINKING
THE FUTURE OF PLASTICS, EMF, 2016
Need to secure that renewable resources are produced in a sustainable way.

3. The New Plastics Ecomomy - Circular Model Where does Ingeo fit in?
1. Ingeo can be chemically and mechanically recycled .
4. Design: Ingeo comes with new properties leading to new designs.
2. Ingeo fits in ind. composting and AD.
5. Ingeo is for 100% made from renewable resources.
3. Incineration of Ingeo produces green electricity
6. Ingeo can reduce e.g. fossil fragments in final compost.

4. Nestlé Institute of Packaging Sciences is exploring new paper-based materials and biodegradable/compostable polymers that are also recyclable, among other alternatives. This could become a valuable option in places where recycling infrastructure does not yet exist and will not be available for some time. 4

5. Biopolymers in Packaging - Trends
Compostable for select formats
Where a composting infrastructure is in place or emerging
Closed loop
Domestic collection: e.g. Italy
Organic waste diversion
Functional items: e.g. compostable bags, organic bin liners, veggie bags
Difficult to recycle – e.g. thin films, portion packs,..
Paper based formats
Should be compatible with paper recycle infrastructure
Option to design for compostability
Decouple plastics from fossil resources (=linear by definition)
Preferential, brand owner driven
Fossil carbon reduction targets
Recycle opportunity to be developed
Regulation/Media
Emphasis on recovery/recycle
Renewable aspect underrated
