RECYCLING CHALLENGES
As more and more PCR enters the value chain, brand
owners, recyclers, and convertors are faced with
new and increasing challenges related to recycling.
For this reason packaging
often contains layers of both PP and PE based on
its functionality.
It works by bringing
incompatible polymers – such as PP and PE –
together by forming them into a homogenous
polymer mixture that increases mechanical
properties based on polymer modification.
