Paper instead of Plastic?
At the online events “Circular Economy Info Series” of IK – Industrieverband Kunststoffverpackungen e.V. (German Association of Plastics Packaging Industry) and “VVD meets Freisinger Tage” of Fraunhofer IVV, GVM presents the results of a new study on the potential of replacing plastic packaging with paper-based composites. In the study on behalf of IK, substitution analysis was made to anticipate how much plastic packaging will be replaced by paper composites by 2025, then explanation for that was provided using clear examples, subsequently the effects of substitution on recyclability and waste generation were addressed.
