Develop new rPET recycling processes that are introduced as an alternative for the sector, which contribute to meeting the demand for recycled rPET material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Improve the properties of rPET so that it can be used in 100% recyclable high-performance mono-material flexible packaging applications via new repolymerization and compounding processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BOTTLE4FLEX is structured around three activities that are carried out jointly for three years, between October 1, 2022 and September 30, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main impact is the development of a new PET recycling process that can in the short term contribute to solving the problem of the insufficient rPET production capacity, currently at 35&nbsp;kt, when the need is for 54&nbsp;kt.&nbsp; An impact is expected in the packaging sector where today there are no solutions for mono-material film, such as those used for skinpack packaging, vacuum packaging film, and others such as PetFood packaging; there may also be applications in the cosmetics sector.&nbsp; By 2030, Europe will invest 7.2 billion euros in chemical recycling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":44105,"template":"","projects-category":[231],"projects-region":[234],"class_list":["post-43499","projects","type-projects","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","projects-category-container","projects-region-national"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BOTTLE4FLEX, a new circular model for recycled PET bottles - Eroski Corporativo<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/corporativo.eroski.es\/en\/innovacion\/proyectos\/bottle4flex\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"BOTTLE4FLEX, a new circular model for recycled PET bottles - Eroski Corporativo\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The goal of the Bottle4Flex project is to develop new chemical recycling processes for PET and rPET that are sustainable and efficient, and new flexible rPET compounds for 100% recyclable high-performing packaging applications, thereby solving the problem of recycling flexible PET packages.&nbsp;
