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.
