Summary

BiblioFlex initiative launched nationwide to study flexible plastic packaging.
Testing begins by the end of 2025, with early results in summer 2026.
Two regional hubs in Quebec and British Columbia will lead the project.

Canada has initiated a significant national effort called BiblioFlex to gain a deeper understanding of flexible plastic packaging. This collaborative project, spearheaded by the Circular Plastics Taskforce (CPT), Éco Entreprises Québec, and Recycle BC, seeks to map the complexities of these materials within the Canadian market.

Through laboratory analysis and market segment characterization, BiblioFlex will delve into the composition of flexible plastics. The initiative is scheduled to begin testing by the end of 2025, with the first insights anticipated in the summer of 2026, informing crucial design and recycling improvements.

This ambitious program will operate from two key regional hubs located in Quebec and British Columbia, engaging specialists nationwide. The CPT emphasizes its mission to foster innovation and collaboration for a circular economy in post-consumer plastics, aligning end-market needs with recycling chain realities.
