Energy recovery Eventually, the life of the packaging comes to an end, but the story is not completely finished yet. Even at end of life, EVAL™ still has some energy and function left. If not used for recycling, the energy stored in EVAL™ and the rest of the packaging can be recovered. It can be used as an alternative energy source to warm houses and generate electricity. That functional but very thin layer of EVAL™ will emit only very small amounts of CO 2 and water vapor.
If not used for energy recovery, plastic packaging containing EVAL™ can be broken up into pellets and used in regrind material. In fact, many rigid bottles, cups and automotive applications already contain a layer of the recycled EVAL™ structure, apart from the new EVAL™ functional barrier layer. When collected and sorted for recycling, structures containing EVAL™ will not disrupt polyolefin recycling streams. Avoiding waste is the best way to reduce environmental impact. EVAL™ is recyclable
