Description: In the meat sector in particular, rigid plastic containers such as nacelles and flexible plastic type lids with multi-material structures are used, with different types of polymers, which hinder their recyclability. The multi-material composition of the containers limits their recovery and, therefore, their final destination in most cases ends up being the landfill. The project develops, analyzes and tests the possibilities of ecodesign of containers with monomaterial structures that allow the material recovery of plastics.
