Sol-Rec2: Recycle of Multicomponent, Multilayer Systems towards Sustainable Waste Management

Recycling flexible packaging multi-materials such as blister packs and food packaging laminates is critical if we are to reduce the severe environmental effect of plastic waste. The purpose of the experimental work was to develop a series of non-toxic, stable, deep eutectic solvents (DES) and ionic liquids (ILs) for the separation and the recovery of polymer-aluminium laminates. Studies identified a number of DESs and ILs that could be used to successfully delaminate three common aluminium containing packaging laminates thereby enabling complete separation and recovery of the constituent plastic and aluminium layers. Analyses of the corrosion and/or dissolution behaviour of aluminium in the DESs and ILs found such effects to be limited towards the recyclability/uprecyclability of the aluminium.
