Advancing the circularity of complex plastic films - CIMPA project final event
CIMPA (A CIrcular Multilayer Plastic Approach for value retention of end-of-life multilayer films) is an EU-funded H2020 project working on developing a recycling value chain for post-industrial and post-consumer multilayer films (from food and agricultural applications).
It is a three-year project involving 13 partners from five countries and covering the whole value chain of multilayer materials: sorting, separation, recycling and manufacturing. It aims to identify innovative solutions to turn this waste stream into a fully circular model.
The project will shortly be holding its final event where it will showcase its key findings. There will also be information on clustering initiatives on circular plastics and recommendations from policy makers, industry leaders, researchers and NGOs on unlocking the potential of plastic film recycling. The event will conclude with an opportunity for networking and a poster session highlighting new technologies which can enhance plastics recycling.
There will be sessions on:
- The EU’s Circular Plastic Strategy – what’s next?
- Fast and efficient sorting for multilayers combining NIR and digital watermarking
- Mechanical and physical recycling, decontamination and upgrading solutions.
The event will take place in Brussels on 20 November from 14:00 to 18:00 CET. It will be in English and in person only.
