Results flexible packaging recyclability project REFLEX

The results of research on recycling options for flexible plastic packaging delivered by the two-year REFLEX R&D project were unveiled at the K Show in October 2016.
The consortium’s research took into account the commercial value of recovered materials and demonstrated that attractive yields could be achieved. Guidelines aimed at providing information to design flexible packaging that is suitable for mechanical recycling have been developed. As more work is needed on investigating and evaluating the compatibility of all the various materials, the guidelines will not be released until further testing work has been completed and validated at European level (News Item REFLEX, 27 October 2016).
