Single-Material Recyclability of PP/EVOH/PP and PE/EVOH/PE Structures (EVOH ≤5%)

Multilayer packaging structures like PP/EVOH/PP and PE/EVOH/PE (where EVOH content is ≤5%) are considered mono-material recyclable under EU recycling standards due to the following technical and regulatory factors:

1. Key EU Recycling Criteria

Recyclability Definition (EN 13432 / EU Plastics Strategy):

Materials must be compatible with existing recycling streams without requiring complex separation.

EVOH ≤5% is fully dispersed in the polyolefin melt, avoiding phase separation or degradation.

Sorting & Processing:

Mechanical recycling of multilayer films relies on melt reprocessing; low EVOH content eliminates the need for additional sorting.

The EU supports “Design for Recycling” principles, allowing minimal non-polyolefin components in mono-material structures.

2. Scientific & Industry Validation

Compatibility Studies: Research confirms that ≤5% EVOH is effectively encapsulated by PP/PE matrices, preventing brittleness or optical defects in recycled material.

Industry Guidelines:

CEFLEX (Circular Economy for Flexible Packaging) classifies polyolefin structures with ≤5% barrier layers as "mono-material."

RecyClass certifies PP/PE-EVOH (≤5%) as compatible with mechanical recycling.

3. Regulatory Support

EU 10/2011 (Food Contact Materials): Permits limited non-homogeneous components in recycled plastics, provided migration risks are negligible.

Green Deal & PPWR Proposal: Promotes recyclable packaging designs, recognizing low-content barrier layers (≤5%) as non-obstructive.

Conclusion

EVOH ≤5% in PP/PE-based structures meets EU “mono-material” recyclability criteria by ensuring compatibility with standard polyolefin recycling streams. This threshold balances functional performance and circular economy requirements, supported by scientific evidence and industry consensus.
