Analysis of the kinetics, energy balance and carbon footprint of the delamination of multilayer flexible packaging films via carboxylic acids Universiteit Gent
Flexible plastic packaging is still one of the most difficult streams to recycle due to the presence of multilayers. With multilayers being very functional during their use phase, the delamination of multilayer structures is promising because it enables the recovery of the constituent polymer layers without any degradation and/or dissolution, thus creating economic and environmental benefits. However, there is hardly any data available on the ...
