About the Project
Packaging cartons such as Tetrapak consist of multi-layered composite materials — typically paperboard, polyethylene and aluminium — that present significant recycling challenges because the layers are difficult to separate cleanly with conventional recycling processes. This project, under Assoc Prof Ee Von Lau in Monash Malaysia’s Engineering and Information Technology school, investigates advanced separation technologies to improve the recyclability of this packaging waste stream, relevant to chemical, environmental and materials engineering.
