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 e Local Motors conducono uno studio di fattibilità sul riciclaggio di pezzi termoplastici di scarto e trucioli dal processo di stampa 3D
Al fine di migliorare il livello di circolarità nell’Additive Manufacturing di grande formato (LFAM), SABIC, leader globale nel settore chimico, e Local Motors, un produttore di veicoli di nuova generazione, hanno completato uno studio congiunto sulla fattibilità del riciclaggio di pezzi termoplastici di scarto e di trucioli dal processo di stampa 3D. Lo studio ha esplorato alternative più sostenibili rispetto all'invio in discarica di pezzi stampati di grandi dimensioni, in previsione di una più ampia adozione dell'LFAM. Lo studio ha riguardato l'analisi della stampabilità e delle proprietà meccaniche del compound rinforzato AM LNP™ THERMOCOMP™ di SABIC, usato da Local Motors, dopo essere stato stampato, recuperato, macinato e rilavorato in forma di pellet. Lo studio ha determinato che il materiale proveniente da pezzi e scarti di post-produzione può essere potenzialmente riutilizzato in LFAM o in altri processi, come lo stampaggio a iniezione o l'estrusione, in quantità fino al 100%. Questi elementi possono aiutare a identificare un percorso fattibile verso la circolarità e un ciclo di vita esteso per i materiali usati dal settore LFAM.
