GREENPACK

Fully recyclable 100% pet package for food contact with O2 barrier improved transparency and low CO2 footprint

Periodo: 36 meses

Comienzo: 1/12/2013

Coordinador: AVEP

Partners: LABOR, UNITV, BPF, TI, AVEP, HAEE, POINT PLASTIC, CLR

Descripción: The main objective of the GREENPACK Consortium is producing prototypes of fully recyclable 100% PET trays for food preservation also by using recycled PET (RPET). PET trays will be designed for low-oxygen application and barrier properties will be based on specifically designed additives. The target is a mono-material fully-transparent tray which could be recycled for producing new trays.

A secondary goal of the project is designing and dissemination of a dedicated recycling model, inspired towards the replication and spreading of the recycling model of the 100% PET soft drink bottles, in the post-consumer phase, adapting its characteristics to the specific food package features.
