Circular Mono Plastic Packing
The project is supported by Innovation Fund Denmark and is prepared under Grand Solutions.
Plastic packaging from food often ends up being incinerated because they are usually mixed products composed of several materials that cannot be separated and recycled. Now a large number of operators are joining forces to develop technology that can make flexible plastic packaging reusable.
Approximately 50% of the plastic that is found in household waste is flexible film from e.g., food packaging. Half of this is multilaminate film – plastic that is composed of different types of plastic, which makes it very difficult to recycle for the same purpose.
