As of 2022, we produce approximately 400 million tons of plastic waste every year globally. Of this colossal amount, 40% is contributed by packaging.[1] It is also estimated that 17 to 20% of all plastic packaging is multilayer packaging.[2]
Multilayer packaging (MLP) materials cannot be recycled using traditional plastic recycling systems and technologies, like mechanical recycling, owing to the chemical incompatibility of the different layers.
