R-Cycle Complements Cooperation Project for a Pioneering Recycling Concept

R-Cycle Partner Reifenhäuser announced, together with the key industry players Dow Packaging and Specialty Plastics (P&SP), a business unit of Dow (NYSE: DOW), HP Indigo, Cadel Deinking and Karlville, the successful delivery of the first-of-its-kind pouch-to-pouch mechanical recycling concept within a cooperation project.

The approach uses a multi-stage process to contribute to a circular economy for digitally printed pouches. Starting with a polyethylene (PE)-based barrier food pouch designed for recyclability, the project team have used mechanical recycling and deinking to create a high-quality dishwasher MDO-PE pouch containing 30 percent recycled contents and being itself suitable for recycling.

In a next step, the team is working on the digital product passport R-Cycle to allow for recycling-relevant packaging properties to be recorded and to make the pouch identifiable for high-quality recycling within post-consumer waste management.
