Koenig & Bauer Wins ADC Award
Sustainable Packaging ( Cont’d from Page 13)
The main challenges are post-consumer packaging ma- terial collection and recycling.There is currently a lack of recycling options for multi-material laminated films, such as snack bags and foil pouches, which are diffi- cult to separate into their various material substrates. The industry is responding to these challenges with new initiatives to improve the sustainability profile of flexible packaging. These include technologies to drive recycling and collection and auto-sortation at scale of flexible materials; investigate new materials including compostable or bio-based structures; and enhance processing technologies that extend and in- crease consumer participation. There are several industry collaborations that are working to identify technologies to make collection and sortation of flexible packaging waste feasible and economically effective, as well as research into chemical recycling, which degrades the mixed plas- tics into monomers or basic chemicals to turn into new products. Other programs such as waste-to-ener- gy (WTE), which use the combustible energy from difficult to recycle plastics are widely used in Europe and Asia, and may provide additional recovery processes in the United States.
