Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for recycling a multilayer system.
- the present invention also relates to the use of a hot melt self-adhesive composition or multilayer system to prepare a recycled article.
- Multilayer articles are used in many areas for the packaging of a wide variety of products, particularly in the food industry, cosmetics and detergents. Depending on the needs, these items can be flexible or rigid. These include flexible packaging. These articles are generally made of different materials (composite multilayer articles). Materials can be chosen from paper, metal or thermoplastic polymers.
- the thermoplastic polymers can be chosen from polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), copolymers of ethylene and vinyl acetate (EVA), polyamide (PA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polymers derived from lactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), or mixtures thereof.
- An individual layer of material may itself consist of several materials. It may for example be a layer of thermoplastic polymers obtained by coextrusion of two polymers (there is then no glue between the coextruded layers), the individual layers of thermoplastic polymer can also be coated with a substance (for example based on aluminum oxide or silicon oxide), a protein layer or metallized (metallization with aluminum particles) to add an additional barrier effect.
- a substance for example based on aluminum oxide or silicon oxide
- a protein layer or metallized metallization with aluminum particles
- the characteristics and properties of multilayer articles will depend in particular on the materials used to obtain the layers. Thus, it is common to combine layers comprising different materials in order to obtain multilayer articles, very generally composite multilayer articles, combining the characteristics and properties of the different individual layers and therefore having particular characteristics and properties, for example in terms of visual appearance, gas and humidity barrier properties, safety or absence of toxicity for users, inertness with respect to packaged products, chemical resistance to products conditioned and/or physical, mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance to manufacturing and packaging processes.
- the layers can be assembled by lamination using complexing processes (lamination) or by co-extrusion.
- the lamination processes can be implemented by using adhesive compositions or suitable devices.
- Hot melt adhesive compositions are also commonly called HMPSA corresponding to the initials of the English translation “Hot Melt Pressure Sensitive Adhesive”. They are solid substances at room temperature that contain neither water nor solvent. Applied in the molten state, they solidify when they cool, thus forming an adhesive layer which ensures the connection between the 2 thin layers of thermoplastic polymeric material to be assembled, while offering the corresponding packaging the advantageous opening properties and reclosing.
- the recycled materials obtained do not necessarily have the characteristics and properties required to obtain new articles such as molded articles: deterioration of mechanical and/or physical properties, incompatibility, cloudiness, etc.
- the present invention relates to a multilayer system F1 comprising:
- a layer C2 comprising at least one polypropylene
- said multilayer system F1 comprising at least 80% by weight of polypropylene or a mixture of polypropylenes relative to the total weight of said system.
- the multilayer system F 1 necessarily includes at least these three layers C1, C2 and Ad.
- the F1 multilayer system can be a laminate, a complex, a film.
- the multilayer system F1 is mechanically recyclable.
- mechanically recyclable is used to indicate that the F1 multilayer system can be converted into a new item via a mechanical recycling process.
- Chemical recycling has been known for many years. Environmentally, mechanical recycling (compared to chemical recycling) is the most energy efficient and generates little waste. Chemical recycling is defined in particular by the ISO-15270 standard as the conversion into monomers or the production of new raw materials by modifying the chemical structure of plastic waste by cracking, gasification or depolymerization, with the exception of energy recovery. and cremation.
- mechanical recycling means the definition given in the ISO-15270 standard, namely the treatment of plastic waste into secondary raw material or products, without significant modification of the chemical structure of the matter, for example without modification of chemical functions and repetition patterns.
- Mechanical recycling includes at least one mechanical crushing step.
- the terms “recycled” and “recyclate” refer to a material derived at least in part from either post-consumer waste or industrial waste.
- Post-consumer waste concerns objects that have been used by the consumer at least once already (i.e. they have served their original purpose), while industrial waste concerns manufacturing residues that do not do not reach the consumer.
- Manufacturing residues can be, for example, scraps from reels of multilayer complexes when they are cut after production to prepare packaging.
- the term “virgin” refers to newly produced materials and/or articles before their first use and which have not been recycled.
