Fast and eficient sorting for multilayer films

Post-consumer multilayer (ML) films need to be recovered separately from conventional PE or PP outlets in material recovery facilities. Sorting is then a key step to make the recycling of post-consumer packaging films sustainable and provide a valuable stream to recyclers. Both material recognition with NIR and Watermark detection will be used to tackle this challenge.

Systemic transition to the circularity of multi-layer films

The first work package of CIMPA project named “Systemic transition to the circularity of multi-layer films” aims at defining the right path for multilayer films to become recyclable. To do so, our work is to establish the requirements, through the value chain, that a multilayer film needs to have to be recyclable and recycled.
