AI sorting enables food-grade PET recovery
With the PAC2PAC project, the Swiss Bachmann Group, an established packaging manufacturer, initiated a feasibility study to develop a technically viable recycling loop for PET packaging in Switzerland. Project partners included Sesotec, Starlinger Viscotec, Krones and PET-MAN. The aim was to evaluate a system capable of processing mixed plastic packaging streams from household collection and returning food-grade PET into equivalent packaging applications.
