Factsheet 6: Recycling PET packaging - Innovative PET recycling of multilayer composites

Most consumers are familiar with the plastic PET from the supermarket. PET is also frequently used as part of composite materials. While these have a positive effect on the shelf life of food, they are difficult or impossible to recycle. This is where the 6th factsheet comes in and presents the innovative revolPET® technology.

Factsheet 2: Valuable waste plastic - Floating recycling plant recovers plastics before they enter the sea

In this factsheet, joint project KuWert shows how plastic recycling can be profitable. The research team developed a floating recycling platform, mobile and independent of local structures. The system was tested in coastal cities in West Africa, where a lot of plastic ends up in the sea.

Development of a Recycling Technology for PET Waste Plastics from Multilayer Material and Other Waste Composites
October 2017
March 2021

revolPET aims to develop a solvolytic recycling process for materials made of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) in multilayer or mixed materials and to carry out experimental trials. Inactive patents for solvolysis of single-variety PET waste form the basis for this research: those solvolytic processes will be enhanced into a continuous waste treatment concept that can recycle PET waste.
