UKCPN has created a community of stakeholders in order to share best practices, focused on unlocking the most critical, short-term barriers to plastics circularity. It works to :
eliminate the volume of plastic waste arising from within the UK;
raise awareness and share best practices to improve the rate of plastic recycling in the UK;
share best practices to reduce levels of confusion amongst the public and highlight user-centred design;
showcase innovation geared to reducing the amount of plastic which ends up in the environment;
UKCPN is supported by UK Research and Innovation and forms part of the Plastics Research Innovation Fund (PRIF), which is engaging Britain’s best scientists and innovators to help move the country towards more circular and sustainable approaches to plastics.

R-PVC Hub aims to promote cooperation between all stakeholders in the PVC recycling sector, including the businesses collecting waste, processing it and producing items containing recycled material.
One goal of the platform is to inform stakeholders about national and European rules on PVC waste and technological innovations in the field of waste sorting and management and the definition of by-products, waste and secondary raw materials.
It also links up supply and demand: businesses list what they have or need and the precise specifications of the PVC.
