| -Open3P is an open data standard for plastic packaging. It has been developed as part of the Plastics Packaging Portals (PPP) Project, an Innovate UK supported project under the Smart Sustainable Plastic Packaging (SSPP) Fund. The project is led by OPRL alongside project partners Open Data Manchester, Dsposal, RECOUP, and Ecosurety. |

15 | 15 | PPP has 5 main aims which will be delivered by 30th November 2022:
|

|
17 | 17 | 1. Extend the Open3R Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRCs) [data standard](https://opendatamanchester.github.io/Open3R/){target=_blank}
|
18 | 18 | 2. Develop a prototype portal to capture data on geographically located recycling services such as HWRCs, bring banks, instore take back schemes
|
19 | 19 | to support a comprehensive open database of this information

|
22 | 22 | 5. Determine a sustainable business model and governance structure

| -Although this funding and this phase of the project is focussed on plastic packaging, which is what Open3P covers currently, there is a commitment and desire to extend it to cover all types of packaging. |

26 | 26 | By improving the data quality, granularity and availability of both packaging data and recycling services data and by enabling these datasets to be linked we believe we can support more sustainable packaging choices. By giving stakeholders visibility of the different parts of the chain we can help designers and manufacturers consider the end-of-life implications of their choices and we can help them determine the difference between a material being technically recyclable and the practicality of it being recycled. Providing recyclers and reprocessors with detailed data about material types and recycling disruptors we can enable more materials to be kept at a higher value for longer. Improving these datasets also helps deliver better information into the hands of consumers to support them to recycle more. Better data on market trends in packaging can also provide more certainty and unlock investment and innovation so that we can increase our recycling infrastructure and ensure more of our waste packaging ends up recycled.
