Under the umbrella “Circular Plastics Cluster”, seven EU-funded projects join forces to promote the innovative solutions
INNOVATIVE SORTING FOR PLASTIC PACKAGING WASTE: TRACER-BASED-SORTING AND DIGITAL WATERMARKING, IN CONJUNCTION WITH NIR SORTERS
CIMPA's first results, achievements and remaining challenges... these are some of the topics discussed during this
VTT works on several objectives of the CIMPA goal of value retention of end-of-life multilayer films
Promoting CIMPA project and explaining its objectives and results are key components of this H2020 project.
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.
