Fate of Non-organic Packaging Materials from De-packaging Operations – How Much is Recycled and Into What?

De-packaging is growing as a way of making the significant amount of waste from unused packaged food available for anaerobic digestion and composting. During the webinar, attendees will hear from operators of de-packaging facilities. The webinar will cover: How do de-packaging operations work? What are the non-organic materials generated by de-packagers? What happens to the non-organic materials – what and how much is recycled and how much ends up as waste? The impact of de-packaging on organic material and the potential for transfer of contaminants, including micro-plastics. Presenters:
