Nextek’s NEXTLOOPP project begins further trials of its prototype rPP resins

Source：Adsale Plastics Network Date ：2022-05-05 Editor ：JK

Following successful trials at TOMRA in September 2021, Nextek’s NEXTLOOPP project is now dispatching PPristine recycled PP prototype resins derived from post-consumer packaging to its 43 participants for further trials.

Last year, trials conducted at the Germany-based TOMRA test center demonstrated a 99.9% sorting purity at maximum production speed using Nextek’s invisible PolyPRISM fluorescent markers.

After the success of this trial, NEXTLOOPP has announced that it will now dispatch its prototype rPP resins to its 43 participants, which includes Unilever, Danone, INEOS, and TerraCycle, among others.

NEXTLOOPP begins further trials of prototype rPP resins from post-consumer food packaging.

This means that the production trials of food-grade compliant rPP will begin shortly, with the intention to test over 60 different products made with NEXTLOOPP’s four grades of PPristine food complaint and “INRT” grade resins.

NEXTLOOPP’s next steps will be fine-tuning the required data to compile the dossier for its application to EFSA and FDA for food compliance.

“The real breakthrough into a sustainable circular economy has been the sorting into food packaging combined with the cleaning and decontamination of Polypropylene packaging to food safety standards," said Professor Edward Kosior, CEO of Nextek. “This has to meet the standards compliant with the food safety authorities using Challenge Tests for validation, which is the basis for the PPristine rPP resins.”

Nextek’s NEXTLOOPP project was the overall winner of Packaging Europe’s 2021 Sustainability Awards. Since then, Nextek’s COtooCLEAN project, which aims to produce food-grade recyclate from polyolefin film waste using supercritical CO2 and green co-solvents for waterless decontamination, secured funding from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).
