The delay in the UK's flexible plastic recycling actually shows a huge gap in our current system.
Because, honestly, we cannot just push for more collection without building the "drain" to process the material.
Extra time on the clock only works if we actually use it to build a functioning system.
To succeed by 2030, we must also improve packaging design, upgrade recycling tech, and boost investor confidence.
Organisations like the UK Plastics Pact are now bringing experts together to bridge these exact gaps.
And with the right teamwork, 2030 won't just be a delayed deadline.
It will be the launch of a system ready to win. π
