Chemical Characterization of Postindustrial Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate Obtained From Multilayer PET/PE Sheets: A Baseline Study on Safety Aspects

open access: yesPackaging Technology and Science, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 257-270, March 2026.
PET trays pose recycling challenges due to multilayer structures with polyethylene (PE) tie‐layers and barrier materials. In this study, a delamination process using a hot alkaline solution was applied to postindustrial multilayer PET/PE thermoforming waste to recover PET flakes and produce sheets.

Metals' Adsorption Onto Environmental Microplastics at Shoreline Sediments

open access: yesX-Ray Spectrometry, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 349-365, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study assessed trace element concentrations and microplastic (MP) contamination in three sandy beaches on the southern coast of Ilha Grande (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). Environmental MPs were manually extracted from sand samples, and beaches were classified using the microplastic pollution index (MPPI).

Identification of Multilayer Packaging Materials by Selective Dissolution and Precipitation With Minimal Concentration of Solvents, FTIR, and DSC for Mechanical Recycling

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 8, February 20, 2026.
Methodology for identifying multilayer packaging materials using selective dissolution and precipitation technique, microscopy, FTIR, and DSC. ABSTRACT Environmental problems related to waste accumulation have encouraged recycling, especially of polymers, such as multilayer packaging, which is hardly recycled because it consists of distinct materials ...
