The German Packaging Act came into effect on January 1, 2019 and imposes huge fines for non-compliance, and its impact is very large

Materials are sorted according to a "minimum standard" for recyclability, which was developed to provide a uniform framework for determining the recyclability of materials

Chemical giant BASF decided it was time to take another look at how incompatible PA6 really is

The company commissioned Institute cyclos-HTP GmbH to conduct a series of tests aimed at re-evaluating the recyclability of PA6 in co-extruded PE/PA6 multilayer film structures from post-consumer packaging waste

Based on the test results, Institute cyclos-HTP was able to demonstrate that multilayer films made of PE/PA6 were compliant with the recycling of PE film streams

"We are delighted that cyclos-HTP can provide the scientific basis for the re-evaluation," said Rolf-Egbert Grützner, Senior Manager Technical Support for Ultramid® Extruded Polyamides in coordination with cyclos-HTP.
The practice of classifying 66 copolyamide as an 'incompatible' contaminant puts it on solid up-to-date evidence

In addition to confirming that PA6 can be recycled in waste streams of flexible polyethylene packaging, cyclos-HTP also classifies PE/PA6 multilayer films containing so-called compatibilizers as well as up to 30% PA as fully recyclable materials

Certified compatibility for new injection and blown film applications

Dr Roland Bothor, responsible for eco-design and development projects at the institute cyclos-HTP Ltd, said: "For us, the use of the PA6 content in the analysed material as a reference for the performance level of industrial polyethylene recyclates has brought positive The contribution is amazing
