The Flexible Plastic Fund (FPF) is a UK industry first, founded by Ecosurety. It brings together a unique coalition of retailers, recyclers and manufacturers and intends to improve post-consumer flexible plastic collection and recycling to reduce plastic pollution.

A landmark achievement of the Fund is the FPF FlexCollect project to trial kerbside collections of flexible plastic. Attracting over £3m of funding and the involvement of multiple local authorities, FPF FlexCollect is defining best practices and informing future government policy.

In 2018 with Hubbub, we brought together a coalition of major brands, recyclers, local businesses, and local authorities. The aim - to tackle the problem of food and drink packaging disposed of on-the-go.

The success led to #InTheLoop. The project has improved on-the-go recycling across the UK, from Leeds and Swansea to Edinburgh and Bristol. In 2022, we released an open-source toolkit for any local authority to implement the successes.

Another winner of the £1m Ecosurety Exploration Fund, BOSS 2D is an innovation that can efficiently sort post-consumer plastic film into uncontaminated, material specific waste streams, ready for recycling.

We funded the original project led by Impact Recycling that is now changing plastic recycling around the world.
