Recycling for food-contact applications

Recently, due to population growth, consumption has increased, which in turn has led to a rise in the amount of waste generated. Plastics are among the most widely used materials in many daily applications, thanks to their wide range of properties and versatility. As a result, the amount of plastic waste generated continues to grow. In many cases, there are no methods available for its treatment, or the existing ones are inefficient. If not properly managed, plastics become problematic due to their long decomposition time and the generation of microplastics during the process, which have a significant environmental impact.
