A comprehensive quantitative study of organic contaminants in marine plastics Open
Marine plastics act as carriers for a wide range of chemical contaminants, many of which pose serious environmental and health risks. This study investigated organic contaminants such as benzotriazole UV stabilizers (BUVs), phthalates, pol…
Can high-quality polymers be recovered from marine plastics using solvent-based recycling processes – and thus decontaminate plastic waste? Open
Recycling marine (ocean and beach) plastics is essential for reducing pollution, conserving resources, and lessening the environmental impacts of plastic production and waste. Traditional recycling methods, however, struggle with the mixed…
Material Use Efficiency of Primary Packaging of Fast‐Moving Consumer Goods Open
To make different packages with various filling quantities better comparable for their packaging material use, in this study the packaging material use efficiency was defined as the ratio of fill good amount to the packaging weight. Severa…
Waste Study on Flexible Food and Non-Food Packaging: Detailed Analysis of the Plastic Composition of European Polyethylene-Containing Waste Streams Open
Despite extensive sorting, packaging waste often contains a mixture of different materials that make high-quality recycling difficult, especially in the case of flexible packaging. This is partly due to the widespread use of multi-layer la…
Quality comparison of plastic packaging waste from different separation systems: Result enhancement with non-negative matrix factorization of FTIR spectra Open
Whether plastic packaging waste is disposed of in different bins (source separation, S) or in a single bin (post source separation, P) is generally assumed to impact the waste stream's quality. To elucidate this question, we evaluated the …
Amount of Fill Product Residues in Plastic Packagings for Recycling Open
Fill product residues in packagings are equivalent to product losses. They are washed out after sorting and before commencing recycling processes. Not much data have been published about how much fill product is still present in packagings…
Packaging Weight, Filling Ratio and Filling Efficiency of Yogurt and Relevant Packagings Depending on Commercial Packaging Design, Material, Packaging Type and Filling Quantity Open
Yogurt is a diverse dairy product category. It is available in different packaging designs made of different materials. To identify potential for improvement for these packagings, a better understanding about used materials and packaging e…
Exploring Odor Minimization in Post-Consumer Plastic Packaging Waste through the Use of Probiotic Bacteria Open
Plastic packaging represents a large proportion of the plastic consumption throughout the world. The negative environmental impact associated with plastic packaging waste can be in part abated by recycling plastics, and increasing numbers …
Characterization of odorous contaminants in post‐consumer plastic packaging waste using multidimensional gas chromatographic separation coupled with olfactometric resolution Open
The increasing world population with their growing consumption of goods escalates the issue of sustainability concepts with increasing demands in recycling technologies. Recovery of post‐consumer packaging waste is a major topic in this re…
