Embedding Quality into Circular Systems: Lessons from Using Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Plastics in the FMCG Industry

With an emphasis on durability, reusability, and recyclability, I will discuss methods for incorporating quality practices into the design of products and processes to promote the circular economy. I will discuss the difficulties and achievements of using PCR (post-consumer recycled) plastics in the FMCG industry, highlighting the following points based on my experience at Pact Group:

1. Ensuring Product Durability: maintaining structural integrity and appearance while using recycled materials.
2. Optimizing Reusability: Designing processes to maximize material lifecycle efficiency.
3. Integrating Recyclability: Establishing quality benchmarks and streamlining workflows to support sustainability goals.

Attendees will gain actionable insights and frameworks to integrate circular economy principles into their operations without compromising quality or efficiency.
