## Summary

The Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) has launched a tender titled "Demonstrating increased recycled content in Welsh manufacturing" under the services category. The procurement process, currently at the tender stage, aims to overcome barriers to using recycled materials in Welsh products. The contract involves conducting demonstration trials to develop solutions for increasing recycled content by Welsh manufacturers. The initial trial period runs until March 2023, with potential extension until March 2025.

This tender by WRAP presents a strategic opportunity for businesses, particularly small or medium enterprises (SMEs) in the environmental consultancy services sector. Companies well-suited to compete in this tender should have expertise in developing sustainable product designs and collaborating across supply chains. With a focus on market confidence in using recycled materials, this contract offers a platform for businesses to demonstrate their capabilities in advancing environmentally friendly practices within the Welsh manufacturing industry.

## Notice

WRAP are seeking to overcome the technical and commercial barriers which limit the use of post-consumer recycled plastics and other priority materials in products produced in Wales, beyond the currently accepted practices and that result in a lack of differentiated market for recycled polymers. To assist with this they are seeking to appoint Contractor(s) to carry out demonstration trials with the objective of developing and demonstrating solutions for overcoming real or perceived barriers to increasing recycled content by manufacturers in Wales.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Objectives The overarching aim of this project is to drive market confidence in using post- consumer recycled materials in products already on the market, where it is currently not common practice, by demonstrating the economic and environmental benefits of doing so. The objectives of this project are to: develop and demonstrate solutions for overcoming real or perceived barriers to increasing the usage of recycled content, sustainable product design, re-manufacture, or reuse by manufacturers in Wales; demonstrate the economic, environmental, and social viability and benefits of those solutions to Welsh businesses; encourage collaboration across Welsh supply chains to develop these solutions; and provide sufficient robust evidence from the trials to enable WRAP to develop recommendations for Welsh policy and industry guidance/standards or actions which can help to increase confidence in and promote the use of recycled content or design for re-manufacture and reuse in products, components, and packaging manufactured in Wales. Each demonstration trial will be proposed and delivered by a separate contracted project team. The project team should embody the relevant manufacturing supply chain (upstream and downstream of the manufacturer) to enable the viability of the proposed solution to be fully demonstrated. One company in the project team will need to be identified as the lead partner, and this will be the contracting party with WRAP; all the other companies in the project team will be sub-contractors to the lead partner.

Renewal: The initial period of the trial is up to March 2023 with the expectation that it will continue to run for any period up to March 2025.
