EVOH3 is renowned for its oxygen-barrier properties and is therefore used in certain agricultural plastics for optimum preservation of silage. But what about its recyclability and its potential disruptive effect on the management of used silage film4? To answer these questions, the CPA and its Recyclability Committee commissioned a specific study from the IPC.

The CPA recyclability committee

With a view to continuously improving the recycling performance of the sector, the CPA has set up a specific committee to assess the recyclability of its members’ products. Drawing on the expertise of its long-standing partner A.D.I.VALOR5 and recyclers and/or integrators in the sector, working groups are set up regularly to assess the potentially disruptive nature of certain existing products or to support manufacturers’ R&D departments in developing innovative products.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
