An Overview of Plastic Waste Generation and Management in Food Packaging Industries

Lindani Koketso Ncube, Albert Uchenna Ude, Enoch Nifise Ogunmuyiwa et al. · 12 Feb 2021

Over the years, the world was not paying strict attention to the impact of rapid growth in plastic use. This has led to unprecedented amounts of mixed types of plastic waste entering the environment unmanaged. Packaging plastics account for half of the global total plastic waste. This paper seeks to give an overview of the…

Recycling of Polymer-Based Multilayer Packaging: A Review

Katharina Kaiser, Markus Schmid, Martin Schlummer · 22 Dec 2017

Polymer-based multilayer packaging materials are commonly used in order to combine the respective performance of different polymers. By this approach, the tailored functionality of packaging concepts is created to sufficiently protect sensitive food products and thus obtain extended shelf life. However, because of their poor recyclability, most multilayers are usually incinerated or landfilled, counteracting the…
