The new 'compost obligatoire' rules came into force on 1 January 2024. Here's what they entail.

As of 1 January 2024, organic waste recycling is mandatory in France under new 'compost obligatoire' rules.

With support from the government’s Green Fund, municipalities must provide residents with ways to sort bio-waste, which includes food scraps, vegetable peels, expired food and garden waste.

Households and businesses are required to dispose of organic matter either in a dedicated small bin for home collection or at a municipal collection point. Previously, only those who generated over five tonnes of organic waste per year were required to separate it.

The waste will then be turned into biogas or compost to replace chemical fertilisers. Alternatively, it can be composted at home.

The obligation is currently on local authorities to provide an easy means for households to compost or separate organic waste.

While facilities are rolled out, there will not be fines imposed for non-compliance. It is yet to be seen whether stricter rules will be imposed in future.

One-third of household waste is bio-waste

Organic waste from food and gardens accounts for almost one-third of household waste. When it is mixed with other rubbish, it typically ends up in landfills or incinerators, where it produces heat-trapping greenhouse gases like methane and CO2.

Food waste is responsible for about 16 per cent of the total emissions from the EU food system, according to the European Commission. Globally, food loss and waste generates around 8 per cent of all human-caused emissions annually, the UN says.

It can also contaminate packaging destined for recycling like paper, plastic and glass.

In 2018, only 34 per cent of the EU’s total bio-waste was collected, leaving 40 million tonnes of potential soil nutrients to be discarded, according to NGO Zero Waste Europe.

In France, an estimated 82 kg of compostable waste per person is thrown away each year.

Is bio-waste separation mandatory in other European countries?

Under the EU’s Waste Framework Directive, bio-waste collection is being encouraged this year, but it stops short of setting mandatory targets.

In many European countries, organic waste separation has already been implemented at the municipal level.

Milan in Italy has been running a residential food waste collection programme since 2014. Households were given dedicated bins and compostable bags to kick off the scheme.

Elsewhere, taxes or bans on incinerating bio-waste have encouraged similar schemes, with separate bins and home composting widespread in Austria, the Netherlands and Belgium.

The UK announced plans to roll out separate food waste collection in 2023. It remains voluntary for households in England, but is more strictly enforced in Wales and for business owners.

How to sort your bio-waste

Ideally, all waste - including organic matter - should be kept to a minimum.

This can be achieved through careful meal planning. Consuming, freezing or preserving food before it expires along with using every part of an ingredient also help to reduce waste. Some food waste can even be repurposed into animal feed.

Any food waste that cannot be saved or repurposed should be either composted or separated for collection. This includes uneaten food scraps, baked goods, dairy products, eggshells, fruit and vegetables and their peels, mouldy food, pet food, raw and cooked meat and fish, bones, tea and coffee grounds.

Liquids, non-food products and packaging should not be placed in bio-waste bins.

Finds over the past two weeks

Ken was in a bag of electronic toys like cars and clocks placed next to the red cross textile collection bin which was broken - rubbish bags of clothes piled up gets people thinking it's some sort of drop off site - the next day the clean and mostly like-new clothes all got tossed filling 3 bins at the cemetery 500 yards away. He needs a quick boil for his cheek scar and he'll be good to rehome.

// I have a whole rant about those "red cross" collection bins (99% is bought up by refashion and exported, drowning local textile economies) but mostly i'm annoyed they have no interest with coordinating with local reduce, reuse, recycling efforts which would have just required a 5 minute drive. There are two charities and two job training places (for ex-cons and folks with resume gaps) that specialize in recycling: both for resale, crafting supplies and industrial purposes (jeans become insulation for example). It's one thing to have strict rules about items being in a set condition inside the metal bins and another to just drop any excess in the landfill when the town is working hard to reducing it. //

Someone's Weird Barbie (ok she's a clone), solo shoes and clothes were beside the bin outside my building with a large amount of blind box packaging, broken potato heads and fast food type toys. Looks like someone did a sweep of the toy box remnants after keeping all their faves. Cali Girl Blaine's top and the Benetton jacket are grail items so I was delighted. Couldn't bring myself to damage a barbie either so I might keep Weird Clone once I'm sure she won't damage other dolls.

The mini items were sorted from a bag full of playmobil, a couple of plastic pet sets and similar sized figurines (policeman etc) dropped next to an ikea flower lamp and some HP bedroom mats at some bins. I sorted and cleaned all the playmobil, 1/6th scale pet sets, the lamp and baggied it to send to the charity shop.

I've kept the shoes (I never have enough shoes for my dolls LOL) and the Star Wars mini toys (micropops - now that i've looked them up they seem to be French supermarket rewards), the rest went into the freebie drawer. Yes, I went "IS THAT a toy for dolls sized Max Reebo?!!?" like some glub shitto starwars nerd. There's a doll sized Roger the droid and a Jawa toy. Amazing. Iconic.

Two things in this life will almost always hit the kawaii spot:

Things that look like other things (stationary shaped like sweeties, bags that look like crisp packets or n95s, lipstick but it's a letter opener knife...)

Things that are miniature versions of the thing, cuteness squared if they are 1/6th or scaled to be doll sized to 1/6th dolls.

#lots of pain and annoyance this week but also some cute random finds that really cheered me up #saf #dolls #barbie #star wars micropops

What is strapping material and types of strapping material?

Strapping is securing and bundling packages and loads for storage and shipment. Different types of strapping materials are used to secure these cartons and other items. Various types of strapping materials are available in the market for different strapping and packaging needs. The strapping materials are made using different polymers, steel, and composite materials according to the need and demand. One should connect with the PET or PP Strap manufacturers in India according to their needs.

You will find strapping materials of various lengths, widths, and thicknesses to cater to different applications. The flexibility and tensile strength of the strapping materials also vary. All these qualities of strapping materials help in securely bundling several types of loads. Before buying the strapping materials from PP or PET Strap manufacturers in India, ask them about these qualities. Some of the most common applications of strapping materials are securing building or construction materials, securing products during shipping and transportation, securing finished goods for storage and supply, securing items at warehouses, and a few others.

Now that you know what strapping materials are and where they can be used, let’s know their types. After knowing the types of strapping material, you can choose the right strapping material for several applications. It will help you know which strapping material is used for which purpose, so let’s discover them.

Types of Strapping Materials

This blog shares the most common types of strapping materials used for multiple applications. They are:

Polypropylene Strap or PP Strap

Polyester Strap or PET Strap

Steel Strap

These three strapping materials are available with most PP strap manufacturers in India.

Polypropylene Strapping (PP Strap)

PP Strap is one of the most widely used straps for various applications. For applications that require light or medium strapping strength, polypropylene strapping is best for them. It is available in varied thicknesses, tensile strengths, widths, and colours. PP Straps are light in weight, making them suitable for bundling and sealing loads that are light in weight. They have several properties, like corrosion resistance, no deformation, and breaking strength. These qualities of PP Straps make them the perfect strapping material for holding products and items for a long time. Polypropylene Strapping material is mainly used in several applications like postal service, bailing hay, flooring, millwork, merchandise foods, and packing of frozen foods & meats.

Polyester Strapping (PET Strap)

PET Strap is the most common and highly durable strapping material among the multiple strapping materials. It is considered the best alternative to steel strapping because it is one of the strongest strapping materials with high tension. It is used to handle medium or heavy loads due to its several properties. It comes with several properties, like being resistant to UV rays, resistant to shocks, resistant to high temperatures, lightweight, and excellent stretch recovery.

Most PET straps are available in green colour as they are made using plastic bottles. But they are available in other colours too. You can ask the PET Strap manufacturers in India if they offer customized straps or not to get the desired colour. Most often, the PET straps are made using recycled materials only. Industries also use Polyester strapping because of their impact absorbing quality during the shipment. Some uses of polyester strapping material are in stabilizing heavy loads, palletizing heavy loads, and handling metals, bricks, tiles, pallets of bottles, and cans.

Steel Strap

It is one of those strapping materials used for a long time. We currently have several alternatives to steel strapping available in the market. Steel straps are mainly used for heavy loads or loads that require less stretching but high strength. Due to the zero stretchability, steel straps offer high tension, which is suitable for heavy materials. Like the above two strapping materials, steel straps are also available in different sizes, thicknesses, and widths. They come with different finishes like zinc-coated, glued, galvanized, and painted. Steel strapping is mainly used for several heavy-duty applications, like bundling metals, construction materials, securing metal containers, steel coins, railroad shipping, and packaging other heavy industrial equipment.

All these three strapping materials are widely used for packaging or bundling loads and items. If you need any of these strapping materials, go for OM Pack Strap. Being one of the best PET strap manufacturers in India, they offer heavy-duty, reliable pack straps at reasonable prices for several applications.

New Recycling Coalition to Improve Recovery of Plastic Packaging and Enhance the Circularity of PET Packaging

Leading companies from across the value chain take action to unlock the environmental and economic benefits of PET recycling.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (June 8, 2022) – The Recycling Partnership is pleased to announce the launch of its PET Recycling Coalition, an initiative informed by industry knowledge and expertise to improve PET (plastic #1) circularity. Its work will focus on addressing four key opportunities to increase recycling of this valuable material:

Increasing the capture of PET bottles

Broadening the acceptance of PET trays, cups, and clamshells in community recycling collection programs

Unlocking new supplies of recycled PET (rPET) for packaging manufacturers

Strengthening recycling systems for pigmented and opaque PET

PET plastic is in high demand for use in textiles such as clothing and carpet (where it is known as polyester) and it’s the most common type of plastic utilized in liquid bottles and food packaging today. While eliminating unnecessary usage is an important component of circularity, increased PET recycling is another critical step in advancing circularity. This along with company commitments and recycled content mandates in proposed U.S. legislation is leading to skyrocketing demand for recycled PET but supply is currently limited. Most Americans with recycling access are able to recycle PET bottles; however, just 54% can recycle other types of PET packaging like plastic egg cartons and fruit containers. Furthermore, the recycling rate for PET bottles was only 26.6% in 20201. While most PET never makes it into the recycling bin due to insufficient access and participation, as much as 17% of bottles that are recovered are lost at Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) due to sortation challenges. By supporting solutions identified by the PET Recycling Coalition, there is a great opportunity to increase recovery and reduce plastic waste and help make progress toward packaging circularity goals.

The PET Recycling Coalition will make grants to recycling facilities for sorting equipment and related capital needs. These upgrades will improve PET bottle capture, deliver more rPET for use back into bottles and thermoforms, increase the acceptance of non-bottle rigid items in community recycling programs, and strengthen recycling opportunities for pigmented and opaque PET. Through grants, technical assistance, and knowledge sharing, the Coalition envisions a thriving PET recycling system that captures significantly more material, enabling more circular PET packaging with increased amounts of recycled content.

“The Recycling Partnership is dedicated to building a stronger US recycling system, including material-focused efforts such as the PET Recycling Coalition. The success of these material-specific coalitions shows us that when we take a systems approach, we’re able to not only lift up that targeted material but all the other recyclables in the bin as well,” said Keefe Harrison, CEO of The Recycling Partnership. “We encourage all companies that use PET to join this coalition and be part of the solution.” 1 – NAPCOR 2020 PET RECYCLING REPORT

The PET Recycling Coalition is part of The Recycling Partnership’s Pathway to Circularity Initiative and aims to advance the circularity of all packaging. The Coalition is supported by and open to members representing all segments of the material’s value chain, including founding steering committee members Eastman, Procter & Gamble, and the Walmart Foundation.

“Eastman is deploying technology that transforms plastic ‘waste’ into valuable feedstock. And while making waste valuable improves the economics of recycling, we know technology alone cannot solve this crisis. Our country needs substantial innovation and investment in its recycling ecosystem,” said Scott Ballard, Eastman Plastics Division President. “We are excited to partner with leaders across the value chain to catalyze the change that will get all forms of PET, not just clear bottles, into our recycle stream. Together, we can create a circular economy, leave fossil feeds in the ground, and do it with a lower carbon footprint.”

“Recycled PET is an extremely useful material when used and reused responsibly,” said Mark Agerton, Group Scientist from Procter & Gamble’s responsible packaging R&D team. “This PET Coalition is a partnership to help provide the essential funding and innovations needed to increase recycling rates and drive true circularity of non-desired plastics.” “The Walmart Foundation is committed to programs that enable system-wide transformations – and this effort is a critical element of scaling on the infrastructure needed for PET circularity. The Walmart Foundation looks forward to working with the Coalition on transforming the recycling sector – and setting the foundation for designing a more circular economy for all,” said Julie Gehrki, Vice President of the Walmart Foundation.

Additional founding members include AMP Robotics, The Coca-Cola Company, Danone, The Kroger Co. Zero Hunger | Zero Waste Foundation, and Niagara Bottling. The Coalition set an initial funding target of $25 million over five years and is seeking additional supporters.

The PET Recycling Coalition is aided by an advisory committee of industry leaders, including the American Beverage Association, Association of Plastic Recyclers, Closed Loop Partners, Foodservice Packaging Institute, National Association for PET Container Resources, and RRS. In addition to serving on the advisory committee, RRS will serve as the Coalition’s technical partner and inform the Coalition’s strategy with supporting research.

Companies interested in improving PET recycling in the U.S. should consider becoming a Coalition member and an active participant in elevating solutions. To learn more about the PET Recycling Coalition, its members, and how to get involved in supporting its goals, visit recyclingpartnership.org/pet-recycling-coalition.

For MRFs and PET reclaimers interested in applying for a grant, the application is available on The Recycling Partnership’s website.

About The Recycling Partnership

At The Recycling Partnership, we are solving for circularity. We mobilize people, data, and solutions across the value chain to unlock the environmental and economic benefits of recycling and a circular economy. We work on the ground with thousands of communities to transform underperforming recycling programs; we partner with companies to achieve packaging circularity, increase access to recycled materials, and meet sustainability commitments; and we work with government to develop policy solutions to address the systemic needs of our residential recycling system and advance a circular economy. We foster public-private partnerships and drive positive change at every step of the recycling and circularity process. Since 2014, we have diverted 500 million pounds of new recyclables from landfills, saved 968 million gallons of water, avoided more than 500,000 metric tons of greenhouse gases, and driven significant reductions in targeted contamination rates. Learn more at recyclingpartnership.org.
