Description: Upcycling demonstrates the technical, legal and economic feasibility for the reuse / recirculation of pre and post-consumer recycled material in multi-layer containers intended for food uses. Hochland is a cheese manufacturer that needs to package them properly to ensure that the product meets its organoleptic and food safety characteristics throughout its shelf life. Currently the best way to preserve these products is through a multilayer film of different plastics. Hochland proposed to EIG the challenge of finding a solution to be able to sup-recycle (upcycling) the printed multilayer film.
