Mondi and Hazeleger Kaas launch recyclable cheese packaging for Dutch market
Leading global packaging and paper group Mondi, along with cheese packaging company Hazeleger Kaas and brand owner Westland Kaas, worked together to package the well-known Dutch Maaslander brand in EnvelopeForm, a new fully recyclable polypropylene (PP) mono-material packaging solution. Most sliced cheese in the Netherlands is still packaged in mixed material film, which is difficult to recycle. This new packaging has a PP thermoforming top and bottom web, and a PP label instead of a paper label, so that the new solution can be recycled in its entirety. The solution has been certified as recyclable by the German institute cyclos-HTP.

SABIC y Local Motors conducen un estudio de viabilidad del reciclaje de los sobrantes del proceso de impresión 3D
Con el deseo de mejorar la circularidad de la fabricación aditiva de gran formato (LFAM), SABIC, líder mundial del sector químico, y Local Motors, fabricante de vehículos de próxima generación, han llevado a cabo un estudio conjunto sobre la viabilidad del reciclaje de piezas termoplásticas sobrantes y rebabas del proceso de impresión 3D. El estudio exploraba alternativas más sostenibles al vertedero para los componentes impresos más grandes, en previsión de la adopción cada vez mayor de la LFAM. Se analizaba la imprimibilidad y las propiedades mecánicas del compuesto reforzado LNP™ THERMOCOMP™ AM de SABIC, utilizado por Local Motors, tras ser impreso, recuperado, triturado y reprocesado en forma de pellets. El estudio ha constatado que el material procedente de residuos y componentes de postproducción tiene potencial para ser reutilizado en LFAM y otros procesos, como el moldeo por inyección o la extrusión, en cantidades de hasta el cien por cien. Estos resultados pueden ayudar a identificar un camino viable hacia la circularidad y hacia la extensión del ciclo de vida de los materiales utilizados en la industria de la LFAM.
