Sri Lanka hardly recycles its plastic — but we import virgin resin to make our shopper packaging, whereas our used plastics pollute our seashores and rivers. GP Licensed — the area’s first certification commonplace for plastic recycling — adjustments that, enabling shopper items to be made with secure recycled plastics for the primary time in Sri Lanka. It accredits recyclers, grades materials and green-labels packaging — growing recycling, slicing air pollution, creating jobs and saving foreign exchange. That is quick and sensible. India mandates 30% recycled content material rising to 60% by 2029, Europe 30% and Australia is already at 16%. Sri Lanka, with GP Licensed, is quick catching up.
