Accelerate the transition to circular plastic packaging by innovations in material redesign, recycling and impact assessment.
At Brightlands Materials Center we work on redesigning the polymers of packaging materials to become recyclable. We also improve the quality of recycled material to be able to use it for new applications. We provide knowledge and insights into what an LCA can mean for your packaging, knowledge of mechanical and chemical recycling and what you need to know in terms of policies and measures to ensure that your packaging will be ready for the circular economy of the future.
Design for recycling
Development of new multilayer packaging material designs that meet product specifications, but with a better recyclability.
Design from recycling
New product development of materials for both flexible and rigid applications by upgrading post-consumer recyclate
Scope
- multilayer / multimaterial / multifunctional plastic packaging which has currently no recycling value
- flexible and rigid applications in packaging
- new applications based on recycled products
