Since its inception, the Two Sides North America Anti-greenwashing Campaign has eliminated literally billions of instances of paper-related greenwashing in the United States and Canada – and engagement with large utilities, banks and insurers in January and February has set the pace for millions more in 2023.

A collaboration of four parties is working on a major demonstration project to recycle stretch film, a flexible plastic wrap. This is despite frequently being told, “No customer will ask for it.” The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) supported the parties with the CPNL subsidy and acted as a discussion partner. “Showing people that it is possible”—this, alongside sustainability, is one of the key motivations for Jolien Stevels to participate in the SKILLS project. Stevels is the Director of Research & Development at Trioworld, a producer of packaging solutions. SKILLS stands for Closing the Loop on Industrial LLDPE Stretch Film. “Customers don’t ask for recycled stretch film because they believe it’s not possible. But if you place a roll on the table, they will start asking for it. We all have great faith in this project.” Stevels quickly convinced three other key players in the supply chain to join her firm belief that recycling stretch film is possible. Stretch film has become a crucial and highly demanded product for securing goods on pallets—ensuring they are transported safely, securely, and efficiently. This means there are significant opportunities for improvement within the industry.
