Greenback Recycling Technologies and Amcor aim to convert post-consumer flexible packaging into pyrolytic oil for food-grade plastics by installing an advanced recycling module at Amcor’s Heanor facility. Greenback’s Enval advanced recycling technology is reportedly able to process both mono-material and multilaminate flexibles, turning both into ‘high-quality’ pyrolytic oil. It sought to process the flexible plastic packaging waste generated by 250,000 people every year, including aluminium in multi-layered flexible packaging, in a low-emission recycling process. Since then, Plastic Energy has announced its conversion of ‘hard-to-recycle’ post-consumer plastic waste into pyrolysis oil at its Geleen facility; this oil will be used to produce food-contact packaging, medical plastics, and more.
