This project is a collaboration between Recycle BC and the University of Victoria. Other Flexible Plastic Packaging (OFPP) is amongst the fastest growing type of packaging, typically generated as waste in households. Examples of OFPP include stand-up and zipper lock pouches, such as pouches for granola or frozen berries; crinkly wrappers and bags, such as coffee bags or chip bags; flexible packaging with a plastic seal, such as packaging for fresh pasta or pre-packaged deli meats; non-food protective wrap, such as bubble wrap or plastic envelopes; and net bags for onions, avocados, lemons, etc. OFPP is not easily recyclable because it is comprised of multiple layers and different kinds of plastics. The layers of OFPP require deconstruction in a special way with the need for altered recycling streams. Therefore, OFPP cannot be mixed with curbside plastic recycling material. At the moment, the collected OFPP is recovered and made into engineered fuel. This pilot project will help move the disposition of OFPP up the Pollution Prevention Hierarchy (PPH). This project aims to convert OFPP to green engineered surface-treated fibers (GESTF) and thus into fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC). Recycle BC will be able to work with the PI to potentially develop a new product that has a two-fold benefit of not only disposing of OFPP up the PPH but also helping the construction industry by improving the characteristics of concrete through use of fiber reinforcement.

这个项目是循环BC和维多利亚大学的合作项目。其他柔性塑料包装(OFPP)是增长最快的包装类型之一，通常作为家庭垃圾产生。OFPP的例子包括立式和拉链锁袋，例如格兰诺拉麦片或冷冻浆果的袋子；皱巴巴的包装袋和袋子，例如咖啡袋或薯片袋；有塑料封条的软包装，例如新鲜意大利面或预先包装的熟食肉的包装；非食品保护包装，如气泡纸或塑料信封；以及洋葱、鳄梨、柠檬等的网袋。OFPP由多层不同种类的塑料组成，因此不易回收。OFPP的各层需要以一种特殊的方式进行解构，需要改变回收流。因此，OFPP不能与路边塑料回收材料混合。目前，收集的OFPP被回收并制成工程燃料。这一试点项目将有助于将OFPP的处置提升到污染预防等级(PPH)。该项目旨在将OFPP转化为绿色工程表面处理纤维(GESTF)，从而转化为纤维增强混凝土(FRC)。Reccle BC将能够与PI合作开发一种新产品，该产品具有双重好处，不仅可以处理PPH上的OFPP，还可以通过使用纤维增强改善混凝土的特性来帮助建筑业。
