Adhesion primers are essential in the multi-material laminates industry, providing flexibility in lamination processes and product design. However, their use poses significant challenges for recyclability at the product’s end-of-life. The PlasmaCola project focuses on developing sustainable-by-design adhesion primers and adherent artificial solid electrolyte interfaces to enhance the cyclability of solid-state batteries while ensuring easier material recovery. By utilizing plasma deposition techniques, adhesion promoters derived from the chemical upcycling of mixed plastic waste are designed to enable on-demand debonding, facilitating the recycling of multilayered packaging. This innovation supports the transition to a circular economy by fostering collaboration among local companies with shared sustainability goals, promoting best practices, and optimizing resource use to drive environmentally responsible advancements in the industry.
