Hi Adriaan,

Among the contacts we have, I would recommend to contact Affinity Packaging. They do manufacture themselves on site (and not in China or through others).
They can do free testing. You can contact Edward: edwardm@affinitypackaging.co.uk
Let me know if you are looking for something else.

Best regards,
Isabelle

Hee Benjamin, the highest impact we make is by buying new stuff to give to eachother. Since we already have almost everything our hearts desire, we don’t give gifts anymore. Just have a very nice family dinner with responsibly seasonable and local produced food. And spend our time on eachother in stead of money  And otherwise we buy second hand or share/borrow stuff. No gifts, no wrappings, no waste 

Happy holidays!

I used glatfelter engineered papers to make sachets. 

Thanks for highlighting this news Jonathan. UBQ has been listed on Ubuntoo for quite a while. It seems to use a combination of pyrolysis with an extrusion process.

 Seems quite promising. I hope other members can shed more light on this.

Hi @zerosolidwaste.
It’s a sort of mechanical sorting with oscillating paddles. The agitation of the paddles has a different effect on the mingled waste stream causing a separation of rigid items off one end and flexible items off the other.
Stadler for example has this system: https://ubuntoo.com/solutions/stadler-f4999a47-6a98-4a8c-8507-eac287c41fd2
