  • Recycling of Polymer-Based Multilayer Packaging: a Review
    recycling Review Recycling of Polymer-Based Multilayer Packaging: A Review Katharina Kaiser 1,2,*, Markus Schmid 1,2 ID and Martin Schlummer 2 ID 1 Technical University of Munich, TUM School of Life Sciences Weihenstephan, Weihenstephaner Steig 22, 85354 Freising, Germany; [email protected] 2 Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV, Giggenhauser Strasse 35, 85354 Freising, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-8161-491-466 Received: 27 October 2017; Accepted: 19 December 2017; Published: 22 December 2017 Abstract: Polymer-based multilayer packaging materials are commonly used in order to combine the respective performance of different polymers. By this approach, the tailored functionality of packaging concepts is created to sufficiently protect sensitive food products and thus obtain extended shelf life. However, because of their poor recyclability, most multilayers are usually incinerated or landfilled, counteracting the efforts towards a circular economy and crude oil independency. This review depicts the current state of the European multilayer packaging market and sketches the current end-of-life situation of postconsumer multilayer packaging waste in Germany. In the main section, a general overview of the state of research about material recycling of different multilayer packaging systems is provided. It is divided into two subsections, whereby one describes methods to achieve a separation of the different components, either by delamination or the selective dissolution–reprecipitation technique, and the other describes methods to achieve recycling by compatibilization of nonmiscible polymer types. While compatibilization methods and the technique of dissolution–reprecipitation are already extensively studied, the delamination of packaging has not been investigated systematically.

  • Collection of the Organic Waste
    ZWECKVERBAND ABFALLSAMMLUNG für den Collection of the organic waste Since the end of 1999, organic waste has been collected separately in all member municipalities of the "Zweckverband Abfallabsammlung". Each property receives an organic waste bin in addition to the residual waste bin. Anyone who composts all organic waste themselves or uses it for agricultural purposes can apply in writing for exemption from the organic bin. The organic waste bin includes all compostable household and garden waste. The organic waste bin is collected every 14 days alternately with the residual waste bin! You can find the discharge dates for the organic wasate bins in the waste calendar or contact your local authority. The organic waste bin includes: The organic waste bin does not include: Compostable waste from the garden •Plastic, metal and glass packaging - grass clippings, foliage • Street sweep, sand, stones - tree, shrub, hedge trimming • vacuum cleaner bags - Flowers, ornamental plants without soil - Cut / potted flowers without pot / soil • stones, rubble • ashes, cigarette butts Compostable waste from the kitchen • diapers, tampons, bandages - fruit, vegetable, salad leftovers (also citrus • Hazardous waste fruits) • Food from restaurants and canteens - Coffee grounds, filter bags • treated wood waste - tea leftovers, tea bags - food and food leftovers - Old bread, pastries - Potato, egg and nut shells - Used kitchen paper - Tissues Please do not pack compostable kitchen waste in plastic bags before adding them to the organic waste bin! Plastic bags cause great problems in the further treatment of organic waste. Also do not use any allegedly compostable plastic bags. These also cause problems in organic waste, as they are not degraded until delivery to the recycling plant and must be sorted out equally, since the equipment can not decide between a compostable and a real plastic bag.

The research was carried out in an area inhabited by 200,000 people. The amount of waste collected in the communes in yellow containers in 2016–2019 increased systematically in communes: rural by 75.8, urban–rural by 44.9 and urban by 17.8%. The collection efficiency expressed in the degree of collection was the highest and grew fastest in rural areas (from 25.1 to 35.5%). In cities, it practically did not change (14.4–15.8%). The weight of recyclable components represented on average 39.9% of the weight of yellow bag waste. Plastic bottles (PET) packaging prevailed, the share of which changed from 19.6 to 14.8%, including the share of colourless PET decreasing from 7.9 to 5.8%. At present, revenue from the sale of secondary raw materials obtained from waste collected separately to yellow bags covers only 26% of the costs related to the recycling and recovery of waste delivered to the installation.

  • Municipal Waste Management in Berlin
    Environment Municipal waste management in Berlin Published by: Berlin Senate Department for Urban Development and the Environment Communication Württembergische Straße 6 D–10707 Berlin Germany Content and adaptation: Berlin Senate Department for Urban Development and the Environment Division IX B – Waste Management – Brückenstraße 6 D–10179 Berlin Germany Text: Dr. Claudia Schulze Technical supervision: Carlo Zandonella, Petra Gutsche Layout: KALUZA + SCHMID GmbH Printed by: Medialis GmbH Translation: Richard Holmes 1st edition, December 2013 www.stadtentwicklung.berlin.de/umwelt/abfall Foreword Modern waste management and the reduction of climate impact More than 3.5 million residents of Berlin are generating waste every day so that the city can make an important contribution to environmental protection by implementing modern waste management methods. Over the past two decades, Berlin has achieved much in this field. There has been a marked reduction in the amounts of waste generated, while at the same time more has been recycled. This positive development is the result of an effective combination of logistical optimisation, plant modernisation, information dissemination, new legislation, and not least also public participation. Legislation for recycling and waste management ensures compli­ ance with high environmental standards. Today, waste materials are increasingly being recovered for use as valuable resources or as a source of energy, and in this way they can make an important contribution to climate protection and resource conservation. In January 2013, Berlin was the first German federal state to introduce a model waste separation strategy, with a single recy­ cling bin for light packaging together with similar materials. New administrative regulations for “Procurements and the Environment” which came into force at the beginning of 2013 also require all public bodies in Berlin to comply with demand­ ing criteria for active environmental protection.
