FPA joins Dow Chemical as co-sponsor of the ‘Energy Bag’ initiative
Dow Chemical, Republic Services (a recycling firm) and the Flexible Packaging Association (FPA), the co-sponsors of the three-month “Energy Bag” program, say they hope to show that resource recovery can achieve many positive, long-term environmental and economic results, including reduced landfill, whilecreating more local energy resources.
“The FPA research in this area, including two recent resource recovery projects and trials run at Agilyx, a pyrolysis facility, provided information for the planning and decisions leading up to the Energy Bag initiative,” explains FPA president Marla Donahue. “Sponsorship of the Energy Bag program is an excellent opportunity for the FPA to continue addressing resource recovery from flexible packaging.”
