Recycling

Each batch of recycled plastic is different, so testing and analysis are critical for processing and quality.

The fast expansion of the wind energy industry has resulted in a significant rise in Wind Turbine Blade (WTB) waste. Unfortunately, conventional disposal methods can exacerbate environmental issues.

Research explores the environmental impacts of transforming multilayer metalized plastic packaging (MLP), commonly used in consumer goods, into paving blocks (PVBs).

Swiss packaging machinery manufacturer PackSys Global and California’s Origin Materials have jointly developed a PET bottle cap that they say can help enable easier recycling by offering a mono-material solution to PET bottle makers.

Despite its benefits, multilayer plastic packaging faces complexities in recycling; innovation is key to a sustainable, circular economy solution.
