The MERLIN project is funded by the EU\u2019s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme. The final conference will take place on November 27, 2024, at the ITENE Research Center in Valencia, Spain, under the title: “From Smart Collection to Innovative Valorization.” During this event, the project\u2019s results and technological advancements in the recycling of multilayer plastic packaging will be presented.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multilayer packaging, often based on PET and polyolefins, presents significant challenges for recycling due to its complex structure. MERLIN has focused on the development of cost-effective, high-performance solutions for sorting, delaminating, and recycling this material. The final conference will serve as a platform to showcase these innovations, which aim to align with the EU regulatory framework on plastic waste management and support the transition to circular economy practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ITC’s role in this project is to lead\u00a0a work package, titled: “Development of the VALIDATION of demonstrators of packaging based on recycled PET and polyolefins.” This task involves the manufacture of packaging using recycled materials derived from the delamination of multilayer packaging, focusing on four key tasks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Development of rigid packaging (injected PE packaging, PET bottles, thermoformed single-layer PET trays, and PE\/PET multilayer packaging) \u2192 Task developed by ITC and ITENE.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Development of flexible packaging (laminated PE\/PET films) \u2192 This task was developed by ITENE and ICIMENDUE.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Risk assessment in food contact applications \u2192 Task developed by ITENE.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Circularity of the MERLIN process \u2192 Task developed by ITENE.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
