Recyclability Depends on the Market: Mono-PP, CEFLEX Findings and PPWR Realities
Release time：2026-11-10
The same mono-PP pack can score grade A in one EU market and go nowhere in the next. The film did not change.
CEFLEX has just published a country-by-country analysis of flexible sorting. Where producer responsibility organisations control sorting, plants are fewer, larger and automated. Where municipalities hold the contract, plants are smaller and more numerous, rarely with the scale to make flexible sorting pay.
So recyclability is two properties, not one. The grade belongs to the pack. The recovery belongs to the market you sell it into. CEFLEX sizes the gap too. Europe needs 440,000 extra tonnes of flexible PCR a year to 2035 to meet PPWR targets. It uses about 1.5 million tonnes today.
Mono-PP is not a slogan here. PP is the one polyolefin that holds a 121 °C retort in a single material. Our all-PP lid film measures 0.11 cc/m²·day OTR by ASTM D3985, and 0.12 g/m²·day WVTR by ASTM F1249, at 111 μm. Foil-class barrier, in one polymer. That same sheet seals at 2.7 N/15 mm. Barrier comes back with the coating. Seal strength does not come back for free.
Which single market are you actually placing that pack in?
