In January 2021, saperatec becomes CEFLEX member to support the recycling initiative with saperatec´s delamination technology for metal barrier flexible packaging. The aim is to develop fully circular value chains for flexible packaging.

CEFLEX is the collaborative initiative of European companies representing the entire value chain of flexible packaging. CEFLEX and saperatec have been working together since a long time to demonstrate large scale feasibility of the saperatec technology and will do so also in the future. The CEFLEX consortium gave saperatec the possibility to showcase the unique technology to a broad spectrum of the industry. Because of the fruitful exchange, saperatec decided to become a member of the CEFLEX initiative to give valuable input to solve the current recycling challenges, especially in the fields of technological development and product design.

The technology development of saperatec has received funding from the European Union´s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 830508 (“FlexPack2Circle”).

From 18th to 19th November 2020 saperatec has presented its unique delamination technology on the virtual Sustainability Forum 2020 organized by Henkel. On the two-day event saperatec shared its technology with many visitors at a virtual booth

The Henkel Packaging Adhesives Sustainability Forum 2020 brought together 2000 experts along the value chain of the global packaging industry with technology innovations & sustainable initiatives. The 2-day agenda with expert speakers was providing valuable business insights on the current trends, challenges and opportunities of the packaging industry.
On this occasion, saperatec used the possibility to show deeper insights into the delamination technology for multilayer packaging materials including the roadmap to industrialization and its view on the current market development.

The CEFLEX initiative representing the entire European value chain of flexible packaging is facilitating the progression of the saperatec delamination technology to industrial scale.

CEFLEX scouts and assesses the development of chemical as well as advanced mechanical recycling technologies as an interesting recycling opportunity for the future. CEFLEX states that saperatec has “proven at lab scale and plotting a move to full scale pilots for post-consumer household collected flexible packaging waste”. The pilot scale validation from the consortium is scheduled for 2021.

A review paper of the renowned science journal Angewandte Chemie emphasizes the saperatec delamination technology as one promising technology pathway to reduce the global waste of multilayer packaging.

In March 2020, a review paper of the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition looked beyond the traditional mechanical recycling methods. In the article “Beyond Mechanical Recycling: Giving New Life to Plastic Waste” (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2020, 59, 15402 – 15423) from Netherlands scientists around Prof. Bert M. Weckhuysen, the saperatec technology was mentioned as one piece of recycling technology to solve the global waste challenge.

saperatec presented its delamination technology at the K fair 2019 to a broad public audience within very fruitful discussions with visitors from different fields of interest, like recyclers, converters, fillers or brand owners. During the fair, saperatec encountered new customers and became aware of new recycling challenges, which is stimulating saperatec’s innovation processes in the future.

In October 2019, saperatec participated at the international fair K 2019 in Düsseldorf, Germany, a highly renowned rubber and plastic fair every three years. saperatec had a booth with product samples of recycled PE, aluminum and PET, flyers and an image film to demonstrate the technological principles. During the ten-day event the saperatec team had an intense exchange with current and potential customers from all over the world as well as suppliers.
