Plastic Aluminium Laminate Recycling

Flexible packaging recycling today.

Plastic aluminium laminate recycling. The benefit from this new self driven recycling system with plastic aluminium laminate is aluminium ingot oil and gas. Our pioneering technology enables the recycling of plastic aluminium laminates by using a unique proprietary pyrolysis solution capable of handling low density packaging waste. A uk company developed a process for recycling laminated packing using microwave pyrolysis generating aluminum scrap and hydrocarbons in the form of both condensable liquid and non condensable gaseous products. According to wrap we get through 139 000 tonnes of laminated packaging a year which contains around 13 500 tonnes of valuable aluminium.

While the packaging is brilliant at keeping foods fresher for longer once aluminium foil paper and plastic have been laminated there s no easy way of getting them apart and recovering the materials. The process is clean efficient and economical for both post consumer and industrial waste. Recycling of aluminium plastic laminated tubes and pouches. Post consumer laminated packaging is not a targeted material and is not currently recycled in the uk.

Enval has created a unique solution for recycling plastic aluminium laminates using microwave induced pyrolysis. Laminated packaging is widely used as a packaging material for a range of products and is becoming an increasingly popular option for lightweight product packaging. Our process is clean efficient and economical for both post consumer and industrial waste. Recycling of laminated packaging.

We transform plastic waste into oil feedstock to produce new plastic effectively closing the loop on packaging recycling. As it stands there is no proper closed loop system put in place to handle the recycling of flexible packaging especially multi layer high barrier materials specifically structures composed of aluminum foil within a polyethylene pe laminate. Process description and plant datasheet laminated packaging flexible laminated packaging consists of layers of aluminium and plastic and or paper and is widely used in food pouches toothpaste and cosmetic tubes drink cartons and many other products.
