APA’s Position Paper
Currently, when it comes to the recyclability, Design for Recycling guidelines are being devised per material per packaging. We believe that, in the case of PA, these must follow the concept of material neutrality and acknowledge scientifically-sound and proven state-of-the-art materials which are compatible with the recycling of alternative materials, and that improve the environmental […]
Mechanical recycling of LDPE films containing PA6/66 by three different, independent testing protocols
Polyethylene is one of the most widely used polymers in plenty of packaging applications, such as films, bottles, etc… However, in food packaging applications, which consists in 23% of the whole PE flexible film market, it is necessary to combine polyethylene with other materials to achieve the requirements of the product. What makes polyamide so […]
Recyclability Certification of PE/PA
Testing Scheme at cyclos HTP Polyethylen/polyamide (PE/PA) film waste streams are already recycled since many years on larger scale. On the one side current waste sorting centers do not separate PE/PA from the PE waste streams and PE/PA is already nowadays recycled in the PE films waste stream, on the other side it is common […]
