CIRCULAR FoodPack Technical Webinar: “How to make flexible food packaging circular”

In the last 3.5 years, the CIRCULAR FoodPack consortium has worked on designing circularity for flexible packaging, demonstrated the technical realisation of the various steps required to obtain Post-Consumer Recyclates, and how to integrate the PCR in new packaging meeting the high standards for food protection and safety.
During the webinar, the project partners will present their key findings and provide a deep dive into the technical aspects of their work.
In 15-minutes pitches, you will gain insights into the following topics:

• Collection & sorting (by Suez & Polysecure)
• Advanced mechanical recycling cascade (by Ghent University, Laboratory for Circular Process Engineering)
• Dissolution-based recycling cascade (by Fraunhofer IVV)
• Challenge tests (by Fraunhofer IVV)
• Design for and from recycling (by Amcor)
• LCSA evaluation (by Ghent University Sustainable Systems Engineering & National Technical University of Athens)

A Q&A session will round off the programme.

Important: CIRCULAR FoodPack Final Event on 28 November 2024

On the day after its Technical Webinar, the CIRCULAR FoodPack consortium will hold its Final Event in Brussels on 28 November 2024. This top-class event will include a wrap-up of the project and a linked panel discussion on the potentials and hurdles of circular food packaging with policy makers, scientists and international experts. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear first-hand about the state of research in this field, and the project‘s recommendations for the future implementation of European policy and further research needs of the community.
