HydroBlox handles the mosts difficult to recycle plastic

Multilayer plastic film has been difficult to recycle because it comprises multiple heat-fused

HydroBlox Technologies says it can convert flexible packaging, including multilayer film used in chip bags and candy wrappers, into plastics used to aid in drainage.

Polymer layers - often PET, PP, foil and different types of PE - making separation and recovery extremely challenging.

But not anymore at HydroBlox, which has developed its first drainage solution created entirely from multilayer plastic film.

The innovation will let HydroBlox triple the volume of multilayer plastic film it diverts from the landfill and launch a new product line that will incorporate post-consumer plastic in addition to post-industrial.
