Objective

CIRC-PACK project aims at more sustainable, efficient, competitive, less fossil fuel dependence, integrated and interconnected plastic packaging value chain. To this end, three case studies will work in developing, testing and validating better system-wide economic and environmental outcomes by i) decoupling the chain from fossil feedstocks, (ii) reducing the negative environmental impact of plastic packaging; and (iii) creating an effective after-use plastics economy. All in all, the work will be supported by non-technological analysis and advanced methodological analysis (including circular economy and industrial symbiosis principles) which will trigger a broadly deployment of the tested solutions. CIRC-PACK project will provide breakthrough biodegradable plastics using alternative biobased raw materials, which will have an instrumental role to play in the subsequence steps of the plastic value chain. In addition, eco-design packaging for improving and end-of-life multilayer and multicomponent packaging will be technologically advanced and adapted also to the new materials produced. Thus these developments will also contribute with a great impact in the packaging footprint, and increasing the biobased content and using compostable materials. Lastly, a multi-sectorial cascaded approach along plastic packaging value chain will be applied with critical impacts in other value chains beyond the targeted plastic packaging value chain. The overall outcome of the project will facilitate the transition from the current linear plastic packaging value chain to circular economy principles.

Periodic Reporting for period 1 - CIRC-PACK (Towards circular economy in the plastic packaging value chain)

Reporting period: 2017-05-01 to 2018-10-31

Summary of the context and overall objectives of the project

Plastics in general and plastic packaging in particular, have considerably and positively impacted many industries, however it has also lead through the years to an unsustainable picture in terms of natural resources an impact to the environment.

CIRC-PACK -Towards circular economy in the plastic packaging value chain- aims to develop a more sustainable, efficient, competitive, less fossil fuel dependent, integrated and interconnected plastic value chain. The project targets the packaging value chain, but also the automotive and AHP sectors.

The overall objectives of the project contribute to the main pillars of the circular economy of plastics:

1- Decoupling the chain from fossil feedstock; by exploring and developing new raw materials coming from renewable resources and waste.

2- Introducing innovative formats and reducing the negative environmental impact of plastic packaging; by improving the recyclability of multilayer and multimaterial (carboard+plastic) packaging as well as the biodegradability performance for certain applications.

3- Creating an effective after-use plastics economy; by enhancing the economics and uptake of recycling, improving recycling rates and the quality-reliability of recovered plastics for recycling.

Work performed from the beginning of the project to the end of the period covered by the report and main results achieved so far

Progress beyond the state of the art and expected potential impact (including the socio-economic impact and the wider societal implications of the project so far)
