Upgrading Mechanical Recycling: Closing the Loop for Post-Consumer Polypropylene
From household trash to premium yogurt pots: Can we transform highly heterogeneous plastic waste back into pristine, high-end packaging instead of downcycling it into lower-value products? To answer this question, the Competence Center CHASE, alongside an international consortium of industrial and scientific partners, conducted a comprehensive case study. The project successfully demonstrated the technical feasibility of transforming post-consumer resin (PCR) polypropylene (P
