NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NEXTLOOPP Americas, a multi-participant collaborative project to close the loop on post-consumer, food-grade recycled Polypropylene (FGrPP), is delighted to announce the appointment of Marcio Amazonas as Vice President, NEXTLOOPP Americas.

Amazonas will spearhead the organization's transformative initiative aimed at fast-tracking the production of high-quality FGrPP, sourced from local post-consumer packaging, for use in food-contact materials throughout the Americas.

With over 30 years of international experience in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) leadership, Amazonas is a seasoned expert in managing sustainability strategies and technological innovations in the packaging and waste management industries. His leadership will be instrumental in the deployment of NEXTLOOPP Americas' advanced FGrPP technologies across North and South America, driving a significant reduction in plastic waste and ensuring Polypropylene is kept in the food-contact market place.

"Marcio brings invaluable expertise in navigating complex supply chains and fostering key strategic partnerships," said Professor Edward Kosior, founder of Nextek Ltd and President of NEXTLOOPP Americas. "His proven track record in driving sustainable innovations aligns perfectly with our mission to fast-track the deployment of NEXTLOOPP technology across the Americas."

NEXTLOOPP Americas is an extension of the highly successful NEXTLOOPP initiative launched in Europe in 2020. The project addresses the challenges of recycling post-consumer food-grade Polypropylene by collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders, including brands, retailers, packaging converters, material suppliers, waste recyclers, universities and technology partners. Through these collaborations, NEXTLOOPP has developed and trialed unique grades of high-quality FGrPP resins using Nextek's PPristine™ decontamination technology, setting a new standard for food-contact packaging solutions.

NEXTLOOPP Americas is actively seeking participants from across the American Polypropylene supply chain to join the project. An introductory webinar, highlighting NEXTLOOPP's achievements and its mission for NEXTLOOPP Americas, will be held on 23 October 2024 and 8 November 2024, at 9 AM Pacific Time / 12 PM Eastern Time.

The webinar is by invitation-only, and expressions of interest to attend can be sent to marcio@nextloopp.com specifying the preferred date.
