New technologies for the mechanical recycling of multilayer plastic films

A study presenting two new technologies for the mechanical recycling of multilayer plastic films has been published by CIMPA.

CIMPA - A CIrcular Multilayer Plastic Approach for value retention of end-of-life multilayer films - is an EU funded, H2020 project, that will develop a recycling value chain for post-industrial and post-consumer multilayer films (from food and agricultural applications).

Through the three-year-long project, 13 partners from 5 countries, covering the whole value chain of the sorting, separation, recycling and manufacturing of multilayers materials, have been working together to find innovative solutions that will turn this waste stream into a fully circular model.
