Market. Plastic film Packaging.
Plastic industry is a huge market with interannual growing rates of 3-4%
Low recyclability and littering are the main concerns. BUT, it is a PENALIZED SECTOR that is DEMANDING recycling SOLUTIONS.
VALUE CHAIN: Becoming Aware EUROPEAN COMISSION
FINAL CONSUMER
Legislators and final cosumers started to become aware of the plastic pollution problem.
BRANDOWNERS:
Looking for environmentally friendly packaging solutions
RETAILERS:
Big brandowners and retailers feel the commitment to find ways to reduce plastic global contamination and demands solutions to converting companies.
Started the research to find ways to use recycled plastic in automatic packaging in 2011. Create Cadel Deinking, a new company focused on R&D joined with University of Alicante. 1 plant sold and 1 operating for demonstrations
THE PROBLEM: Post industrial printed waste in printing Companies. rPI Printing -
Printed scrap diverted during manufacturing process. (10 % of the production)
-
Will have only one extra life if we don’t deink it because will be downcycled as a garbage bag due to the ink.
-
WASTE (10%)
Bag-Making
RECYCLING COMPANIES
The original material has Declaration of Compliance (DoC).
DOWNCYCLING
LOW ADDED VALUE PRDUCTS
The solution: To remove the ink of plastic surfaces. rPI
Cadel Deinking, has developed a process that allows to remove the ink of plastic surfaces.
DOWNCYCLING
With this technology, Cadel deinking has found a brand new recycled high quality LDPE suitable for automatic packaging applications. Since Cadel Deinking holds the patent worldwide, right now it is the only company able to supply this product, although we are ready to reach agreements with Brand owners , printing companies and petrochemistry companies for circularity in plastics.

This plastic can´t be used in high % cuotas in automatic packaging applications due to the glue on the stickers can´t be removed in convencional recycling systems becouse it clogs the reprocesing filters.
-
Can/Should/Must include obsolete stock films from Nestlé even if the qtties are “small” to avoid downcycling.
