2026-06-03 12:10 2026-06-03 12:30 Europe/Madrid Advanced Mechanical Recycling of Multilayer Packaging for a Circular Economy This presentation introduces the new industrial plant of Fych Technologies, dedicated to the recycling of multilayer plastic waste. The facility focuses on the recovery of polyaluminum for the production of rLDPE, the recycling of Bag-in-Box packaging to generate rLDPE, and the production of HDPE and PP blends from bottle caps. The plant will serve as a demonstration of our patented technologies: mechanical delamination, which enables the recovery of materials by removing adhesives and inks, and decontamination, designed to eliminate compounds and odors present in recycled plastics. These processes make it possible to obtain high-value materials suitable for new industrial applications, including pellets and film. Examples of industrial validation and collaboration with manufacturers will be presented, showing how multilayer packaging—traditionally difficult to recycle—can be efficiently integrated into a circular economy, combining technological innovation and sustainability.
