To meet ambitious recycling targets for plastic packaging, there is an urgent need to solve scientific and technilogical challenges to meet both the legislative food safety requirements and the plastic packaging recycling requirements, while enabling the use of recycled plastics in food packaging. The project investigates the promising options of closed loop polyolefin recycling and the use of recycled plastics in food packaging with a functional barrier. NORSUS will carry out an environmental assessment of the case products and recycling systems. In addition, LCA will be used to quantify the projects’ contribution towards the sustainable development goals.
