Researchers develop a new recycling method for multilayer plastics
02/09/2021
STRAP, Solvent-Targeted Recovery and Precipitation, multilayer recycling method.
Calculations to find combinations of solvents and temperatures to dissolve
selectively concrete layers. Tests with Amcor PE, PET and EVOH films.
The solvents and the separated materials are recovered. Efficiency close to 100%. Other multilayers and the possibility of scaling are explored. |
