Membership for Manufacturers Using Plastics (Non‑Packaging)
Independent insight. Practical guidance. System‑wide perspective.
Many manufacturers rely on plastics for performance, durability and functionality, even where packaging is not the primary output.
RECOUP supports organisations that use, specify or influence plastic materials within complex products and systems.
RECOUP helps you to:
- Understand how plastic materials interact with UK recycling systems
- Navigate emerging policy and regulatory change affecting non‑packaging plastics
- Access independent, evidence‑based insight on material use and design choices
- Engage in system‑wide discussion on plastics resource efficiency and recovery
RECOUP provides an independent, non‑commercial platform connecting manufacturing practice with evidence, infrastructure and policy context.
