Recycling of Packaging Waste Comprising Aluminium-polyethylene Laminates

Published in

2022

The 2021 Fraunhofer study, initiated by the Global Aluminium Foil Roller Initiative (GLAFRI) and co-funded by the IAI, looks at the benefit of advanced recycling technology for the recovery of aluminium and polymers from sorted aluminium packaging fractions.

This recycling study demonstrates both the technical and economic feasibility of the CreaSolv® process for the separation and recovery of polymers and aluminium from foil laminates in post-consumer non-ferrous metal fractions.

Please contact Marlen Bertram – IAI’s Director – Scenarios & Forecasts (contact details here) for the full Report.

Decarbonisation Pathways In Aluminium VS Competing Materials 

This study builds upon Eunomia’s previous studies into materials decarbonisation pathways. The scope of this report is focused on aluminium in comparison to four competing materials— steel, copper, container glass, PVC —taken from the perspective of their global value chains. The analysis looks at the Net Zero pathways that are ...
