The circular economy is officially moving from high-level targets into the messy operational details - and that's a good news!
PackUK just published RAM 2027 alongside new kerbside collection lists to give producers a clearer assessment framework.

On the infrastructure side, Jayplas announced two new recycling facilities in Wales to address critical bottlenecks.
But fresh data on flexible plastics reminds us that collection alone is entirely useless without viable end markets.
We are finally moving past basic waste management and shifting focus toward true prevention, reuse, and resource efficiency.
The next phase needs us to build the commercial conditions to actually hit them.
