Peeling and recycling technology realizes the recycling of aluminum pouches DHC supplement packaging bags are reborn as new packaging materials

DHC's granular supplement packaging bags feature pouches with aluminum foil laminated film structure to protect the contents from light, oxygen, and moisture, and maintain safe and secure quality. Aluminum foil laminating film is difficult to separate after use because aluminum foil and multiple plastic films are integrated, making it difficult to recycle.
In this joint research, we will gradually carry out peeling, reprocessing, physical property evaluation, and packaging suitability verification of aluminum pouches that are scheduled to be discarded. It has been confirmed that it can be recycled as a packaging bag at a practical level.

In order to realize the social implementation of recycling, it is necessary to work across society as a whole, transcending industry boundaries. artience group will further advance its peel recycling technology and promote the construction of recycling models for composite packaging materials, including aluminum pouches, through collaboration with partner companies, to contribute to reducing the environmental impact of packaging materials and realizing a recycling-oriented society.

Peeling and recycling technology

The "peel recycling technology" developed by artience group recovers and reuses high-purity polyethylene films by treating crushed double-layer films with alkali treatment, dissolving adhesives, and separating them using the difference in specific gravity of the film. This technology has made it possible to separate aluminum foil and plastic film, which was previously difficult, and has succeeded in recycling aluminum pouches.
