RECOVEFILM will investigate new solutions to reduce these issues, recover flexible packaging waste and facilitate its return to the polyethylene recycling stream, preventing it from ending up in landfill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The initiative brings together different stakeholders from across the value chain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>SP Group<\/strong> will work on the development of materials for trays and flexible films that are compatible with recycling processes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sulayr<\/strong> will investigate improvements to the recycling and regranulation conditions for flexible packaging waste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Andaltec<\/strong>, together with SP Group, will study the influence of components such as inks and adhesives on the recyclability of lidding films.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The cluster association<\/strong> will coordinate the project and manage the activities associated with its development.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>RECOVEFILM<\/strong> is being developed within Line 2 of the InnovAndaluc\u00eda programme, which aims to promote innovation projects coordinated by clusters and carried out through cooperation between companies and technology centres. <a

solutions aimed at improving packaging circularity while maintaining the functionality and industrial viability required for real-world
