项目摘要

Current plastic food packaging is difficult to recycle, meaning millions of tonnes of food packaging ends up in landfills annually. We at Novolex are seeking to meet UK Plastics Pact targets and increase the sustainability of our entire plastics line. The aim of this project is to develop a highly recyclable and environmentally friendly plastic packaging that helps create a more circular plastics ecosystem that achieves the UK government's sustainability targets. This material will improve on current food packaging plastics with significant carbon, energy, and cost benefits, while reducing the amount of virgin plastic consumed, as well as the amount of plastic annually discarded as waste into landfills.We are working with subcontractor GR8 Engineering to develop a more sustainable, recyclable, and reusable convenience foods packaging. Our goal is to develop a new kind of plastic, Hot Fill rPET CLEAR, which combines the excellent sustainability qualities of normal rPET with the heat resistance of PP, pioneering a new recyclable food packaging solution. If successful, we will be able to package convenience foods with rPET instead of PP, as the former will deliver significant environmental benefits, both through carbon emissions reductions and elimination of plastic waste. rPET's mechanical recyclability allows for an efficient and sustainable circular economy that delivers on UK Plastics Pact targets.

目前的塑料食品包装很难回收，这意味着每年有数百万吨的食品包装最终被填埋。我们在Novolex正在寻求满足英国塑料公约的目标，并提高我们整个塑料生产线的可持续性。该项目的目的是开发一种高度可回收和环保的塑料包装，帮助创建一个更加循环的塑料生态系统，实现英国政府的可持续发展目标。这种材料将改善目前的食品包装塑料，具有显著的碳、能源和成本效益，同时减少原始塑料的消耗量，以及每年作为废物丢弃到垃圾填埋场的塑料量。我们正在与分包商GR8 Engineering合作，开发更可持续、可回收和可重复使用的方便食品包装。我们的目标是开发一种新的塑料，热填充rPET CLEAR，它结合了普通rPET的卓越可持续性和PP的耐热性，开创了一种新的可回收食品包装解决方案。如果成功，我们将能够用rPET代替PP包装方便食品，因为前者将通过减少碳排放和消除塑料废物来实现显著的环境效益。rPET的机械可回收性可以实现高效和可持续的循环经济，实现英国塑料公约的目标。
