3 Recycling of Flexible Packaging Contents mtm - what and how we recycle Recyclable packaging Separation NIR Flexible packaging: recyclable? Future of flexible packaging RecyClass: a useful tool 3

4 mtm the company The company > founded in 1994 > 90 employees > Turnover: 17m p.a. > Location: centre of Germany, Thuringia > Managing partners: Dr. Michael Scriba, Torsten Meyer 4

5 mtm the company What our customers appreciate We supply... > reliably, long-term (no force majeure ) > at fair prices > in stable quality > sufficiently large quantities to compete with virgin PO 5

6 We deliver Europe-wide Approx. 60 customers throughout Europe 6

7 What we recycle Input capacity > since 2008: 75 kt/a Input materials > mixed plastic packaging (containing large amounts of flexible multi-layers) > bulky household waste plastics > C&I hard plastics PE/PP 7

8 What we recycle Packaging waste from separate collection Germany-wide bulky waste separation Germany, Italy, Scandinavia, Netherlands, France, Britain optimised sorting of PP and PE components in bulky household waste for mechanical recycling 8

9 How we recycle: Processing Processing > 6 shredders (75 kt/a) > NF/FE metal separation > Air separation > near-infrared optical sorting according to polymer type and colour > secondary granulation > storage bunkers 9

10 How we recycle: Separation Washer system / type separation > 3 x 3 centrifugal separators ( Sorticanter ): - cleaning the plastic flakes - density separation for 100% PO-output > Thermal drying > NIR-Sorting for rigids (PE/PP and colour) 10

11 How we recycle: Regranulation Regranulation > 4 extruders/compounders > gravimetric dosage of additives > Homogenisation batch wise 24 tons 11

12 Regranulates, tailor-made for customers Dipolen and Purpolen > Dipolen : re-po-pellets for the injection moulding industry for areas of application using polyethylene and polypropylene > Purpolen : a novel re-pellet with a broad range of colors 12

13 Product range: Dipolen / Purpolen Product Dipolen S Dipolen SP Dipolen PP Dipolen H Polymer PPdominated PP PE-PPpolyblend PE-HDdominated MFI 190 C / 5 kg > 10 > 14 > 24 > 10 MFI 190 C / 2.16 kg > 2.5 MFI 230 C / 2.16 kg > 5 > 7 > 10 > 5 Product Purpolen PE Purpolen PP Polymer PE-HD PP MFI 190 C / 5 kg < 3 - MFI 190 C / 2.16 kg < MFI 230 C / 2.16 kg - > 20 13

14 How we recycle: Products Re-polyolefins for the plastics converting industry 14

15 Recycling of Flexible Packaging Contents mtm - what and how we recycle Recyclable packaging Separation NIR Flexible packaging: recyclable? Future of flexible packaging RecyClass: a useful tool 15

16 Recyclable packaging Crucial questions about recyclability Can a flexible package be > Collected? > Sorted? > Recycled with a reasonable yield > to a marketable quality product? 16

17 Recycling of Flexible Packaging Contents mtm - what and how we recycle Recyclable packaging Separation NIR Flexible packaging: recyclable? Future of flexible packaging RecyClass: a useful tool 17

18 Separation NIR Sorting by NIR-air-blow separation > Flexibles: NIR-sorting not possible Tomra website 18

19 Separation NIR No NIR-sorting for flexibles: > Polyblend re-pellets: > Lower sales price > Lower mechanical properties > No defined colour sorting: > Different shades of grey > Variety depending of seasonal influences > Difficult to batch to brilliant or even lighter colours 19

20 Separation NIR No NIR-sorting for flexibles: > Polyblend re-pellets: > Lower sales price > Lower mechanical properties > No defined colour sorting: > Different shades of grey > Variety depending of seasonal influences > Difficult to batch to brilliant or even lighter colours 20

21 Recycling of Flexible Packaging Contents mtm - what and how we recycle Recyclable packaging Separation NIR Flexible packaging: recyclable? Future of flexible packaging RecyClass: a useful tool 21

22 Flexible packaging Flexible packaging: recyclable? > Flexible packs represent a considerable amount of mixed PO waste and are needed as input material > If the main components are PO (PP/PE), recycling at mtm can be done > Aluminium components - with the exception of metallized sheets will be separated and sent to the aluminium industry for recycling Recyclable YES! But 22

23 Recycling of Flexible Packaging Contents mtm - what and how we recycle Recyclable packaging Separation NIR Flexible packaging: recyclable? Future of flexible packaging RecyClass: a useful tool 23

24 Future of flexible packaging but please ensure: > Less content of residual product (esp. food / easy to empty) washing water contamination > No plastics/paper combinations fibers in washing water and extrusion: brownish colour, odour, gas > As little metallized components as possible Eddy- Current Technology has its limits: silver spots in pellets 24

25 Future of flexible packaging but please ensure: > No combinations of PO with heavier plastics (PVC, PET, PS) specific weight separation: random sorting results > Surface layer material different from main component NIR-sorting: wrong detection, random sorting results > No opaque or dark/black packaging no detection, no recycling 25

26 Future of flexible packaging What will happen if the trend in opposite direction continues and designers don t do their home work? > Recycling rates will go down > Costs will go up > New German Recycling Law will incentive design for recyclability and passing on negative costs effects onto packers and fillers 26

27 Recycling of Flexible Packaging Contents mtm - what and how we recycle Recyclable packaging Separation NIR Flexible packaging: recyclable? Future of flexible packaging RecyClass: a useful tool 27

28 RecyClass: an useful tool RecyClass can help > Ranking tool for the recyclability of a plastic package > Evaluation of the package s recyclability in practise, that is in existing recycling streams > Ranking in classes between A and F > Helping users to identify possible changes in design to achieve a better ranking 28
