The BPFs policy on the Environment is to encourage the development of a sustainable industry, one which uses resources in such an efficient way that future generations are not denied their use.
This is a major area for representation to government, in particular DEFRA and the Environment Agency and is a platform for dialogue with the spectrum of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) which have adopted often aggressive stances against plastics in general or specific plastics materials or additives.
Our activity covers the efficient manufacture of raw materials and products and the minimisation of plant emissions and waste, and so includes the environmental performance of companies. It focuses on the sustainablity of waste-management, the nature and classification of waste and the appropriate roles of re-use, recycling and energy-from-waste with the aim of minimising the quantities of used materials and products going to landfill; in this it explores viability of innovative methods of recovery.
