Céline talks about the present and future of this project and her role as project coordinator.
On 16 and 17 June 2021, the project partners of CIMPA gathered to officially kick-off this
CIMPA- A CIrcular Multilayer Plastic Approach for value retention of end-of-life multilayer films- is a 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 this three-year-long project, 13 partners from 5 countries, covering the whole value chain of the sorting, separation, recycling and manufacturing of multilayers materials, will work together to find innovative solutions that will turn this waste stream into a fully circular model.
CIMPA will develop the first recycling value chain for post-industrial and post-consumer multilayer films, contributing to a circular economy in which plastics never go to waste.
CIMPA will develop a recycling value chain for post-industrial and post-consumer multilayer films (from food and agricultural applications) to retain 12 up to 72% of their value yield based on a synergetic approach combining:
i. innovative compositional sorting (combining Near InfraRed NIR- and digital watermarking sorting),
ii. mechanical and physical (dissolution) recycling,
iii. decontamination processes (advanced scCO2-based decontamination),
iv. upgrading (properties tuning) solutions.
