Review demonstrates structural separation technologies for multilayer packaging, highlighting delamination and selective dissolution-precipitation pathways for closed-loop mechanical recycling.
Structural Separation The closing spiral mirrors the recycling loop enabled by structural separation of multilayer packaging. Delamination and selective dissolution-precipitation deconstruct bonded layers into single-polymer streams that can be purified for closed-loop mechanical recycling.
