Process for Recycling of Metal/polymer Laminate based Multilayered Plastics (MLPs) for Recovery of Materials for Technological Applications

The Technology related to the delamination and demetallization of the waste multilayer packagings (MLPs) for recovery of materials and utilization of the same alone alone or in combination with uncleaned MLPs for possible use in technological applications including but not limited to the molded structures/tiles, liquid of gaseous chemicals and/or fuels, additive for road laying or concrete, as strategically designed barrier materials etc.

These recovered fractions have multitude of specific applications in societal, strategic and industrial sectors including but not limited to antistatic & electrostatic charge dissipation support/encasings, electromagnetic interference shielding compositions, insulation materials, composites/blends, for bituminous replacement in roads, for generation of fuels including hydrogen.

The advantages of the process include high materials recovery rates, no environmental pollution, recovery/recycling of used chemicals and better economic and energy feasibility, in a single step process, compared to two-step process wherein delamination and demetallization are achieved in two separate sequential steps
