Coextruded polyethylene (PE) films containing up to 30% polyamide (PA) have been proven recyclable through mechanical recycling processes. This breakthrough highlights the feasibility of recycling multilayer structures without compromising technical performance, providing a sustainable solution for various industries.
Furthermore, one of the key benefits of these films is their ability to be re-incorporated by including up to 38% recycled material into new structures without sacrificing mechanical properties. Tests confirm that features such as strength, elongation at break, and tensile modulus remain consistent, making them an ideal choice for demanding applications.
The new structure containing these recycled material, which partially substitutes virgin PE layers without compromising the price, ensures flexibility, durability, and processability while guaranteeing further recyclability. This innovative solution allows for high-performance standards to be maintained while minimizing environmental impact, offering a versatile solution for industries seeking sustainable and functional packaging options.
Independent certifications validate the excellent recyclability of these films, establishing them as a key alternative for promoting the circular economy. Their ability to reuse materials without degrading performance enables companies to advance their sustainability goals without compromising quality.
