Composite

Composites as packaging material are materials made of at least two different materials that are fully connected to one another and cannot easily be separated by hand. They are a subgroup of the layer composite materials and thus the composite materials . Packages produced therefrom are composite packaging or composite packaging mentioned.

A typical composite packaging is the beverage carton . It consists of cardboard and the plastic polyethylene and can also contain a layer of aluminum for longer-lasting products such as juices . Other common packaging made of composite materials are butter wrappers (aluminum / paper), plastic-coated cardboard boxes for frozen food or bags for instant soups (aluminum / plastic).

In Germany, the dual system collects licensed composite packaging (“ yellow sack ”) with the “Green Dot” . In Switzerland, Aldi Suisse has set up a (bring) collection system in all branches.
