Infact - Infrastructure for the flexible plastic packaging circular transition

Infact - Infrastructure for the Flexible plastic pAckaging Circular Transition

Project Period: March 2026 – May 2028

Project Status: In Progress  Pool: TRACE Pool 3.2

Lead: Danish Technological Institute

InFACT aims to establish a circular infrastructure for recycling flexible food plastic packaging (FFPP) from household waste into new food-grade materials. The project aligns collection, sorting, recycling technologies, and packaging design to enable 75% recyclability of FFPP. InFACT addresses technical, economic, and regulatory barriers through public-private collaboration and aims to unlock DKK 67 billion in material value and reduce CO₂ emissions by 13.4 million tons annually.

Other Plastic Projects

Reverse Material & Product Requirement Planning

TRACE Pool 1, Finalized

The aim of the project is to adopt  and reverse material resource planning approach to increase the inclusion, utilization, quality and circularity of recycled plastic.

Design for Disassembly

TRACE Pool 1, Finalized

Proving the technology with design for disassembly as a key enabler for manufacturers to prepare product and materials for circularity.

Petfection

TRACE Pool 1; Finalized

The vision is to demonstrate viable, circular value chains and implementation pathways for recycling of household waste plastics, and that such implementation can substantially support the Danish recycling requirements and CO2 reduction targets.

CFIT Circularity of Industrial Thermoplastic for high quality recycling

TRACE Pool 1, Finalized

The vision is to enable companies to use recycled plastics in their products to the highest possible value application, preferably in their own products.
