Today's topic: the recycled HDPE material for food packaging.
The project is funded by the Dutch Ministry of Climate Policy and Green Growth and is planned over a four-year period. This schedule is set to match the PPWR 2030 timeline, enabling the solution to move from pilot validation to industrial-scale production at the right moment.
From 2030, packaging in the EU must contain a minimum proportion of recycled material. ALPLA and NTCP are working on a future-proof and affordable solution for plastic food packaging. The patented recycling technology is expected to deliver food-safe HDPE recycled material (rHDPE) on an industrial scale for the first time. Following several years of R&D with successful laboratory results, the two project partners have just started evaluating the solvent-based process at the NTCP site in Heerenveen.
