Nextek and Coveris have partnered to demonstrate the transformation of PE and PP flexible films from packaging waste into food-grade resins and film with the COtooClean mechanical recycling process. Jointly, the companies have begun developing a “demonstration plant” in the UK to implement COtooClean at an industrial scale. The COtooClean technology was developed by Nextek, a tech consultancy specializing in recycling. It uses a waterless cleaning and decontamination process to produce food-grade recycled materials from post-consumer plastic film. The technology recently received the “Circular Solutions for Flexibles” award from the Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW).
