As part of the partnership between Nextek and Coveris, a demonstration plant is now being developed in the UK. The plant will implement the COtooCLEAN technology at industrial scale, with extensive trials planned to collect the data needed to meet regulatory requirements, along with the opportunity to demonstrate the technology to industry. The ultimate goal is to make this process available globally.
COtooCLEAN solves a critical problem in the recycling of PE and PP films, which are notoriously difficult to decontaminate. By enabling food-grade recycling, the technology represents a major leap forward in creating a sustainable future for flexible packaging.
