“…The samples were analysed by ICP-MS (7700x, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, US), a method widely used to analyse metal content migrating from plastic into various food stimulants (e.g. Dutra et al, 2014;Cheng et al, 2010) and that has previously also been used for analysis of the total metal content in waste plastic (e.g. Götze et al, 2016).…”

“…The most common plastic packaging materials are, however, polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) (Plastics Europe 2015). And although a few examples of post-industrial recycled PP in food packaging have been documented (EFSA 2014), in general the molecular pollution of both recycled PE and PP is so substantial that the legal migration limits for food packages are exceeded (Palkopoulou et al 2016;Dutra et al 2014). Therefore, their application is usually limited to non-food packaging and non-packaging applications.…”

Predictive model for the Dutch post-consumer plastic packaging recycling system and implications for the circular economy

The Dutch post-consumer plastic packaging recycling network has been described in detail (both on the level of packaging types and of materials) from the household potential to the polymeric composition of the recycled milled goods. The compositional analyses of 173 different samples of post-consumer plastic packaging from different locations in the network were combined to indicatively describe the complete network with material flow analysis, data reconciliation techniques and process technological parameters. The derived potential of post-consumer plastic packages in the Netherlands in 2014 amounted to 341 Gg net (or 20.2 kg net.cap.a). The complete recycling network produced 75.2 Gg milled goods, 28.1 Gg side products and 16.7 Gg process waste. Hence the net recycling chain yield for post-consumer plastic packages equalled 30%. The end-of-life fates for 35 different plastic packaging types were resolved. Additionally, the polymeric compositions of the milled goods and the recovered masses were derived with this model. These compositions were compared with experimentally determined polymeric compositions of recycled milled goods, which confirmed that the model predicts these compositions reasonably well. Also the modelled recovered masses corresponded reasonably well with those measured experimentally. The model clarified the origin of polymeric contaminants in recycled plastics, either sorting faults or packaging components, which gives directions for future improvement measures.

“…Additives are generally substituted during recycling to compensate losses in functionality while residual additives and their breakdown products remain in the plastic material. Dutra et al (2014) measured the migration of non-volatile and inorganic residual substances from post-consumer recycled PET, as well as from multilayer packaging material containing postconsumer recycled HDPE. et al (2016), who analysed the levels of nine phthalates in plastic waste samples, seem to suggest that these phthalates were introduced into post-consumer PET as irregular external contaminants derived from other polymer types during the collection stage.…”
