Abstract

Compared to other, plastic materials have registered a strong acceleration in production and consumption during the last years. Despite the existence of waste management systems, plastic_based materials are still a pervasive presence in the environment, with negative consequences on marine ecosystem and human health. The recycling is still challenging due to the growing complexity of product design, the so-called overpackaging, the insufficient and inadequate recycling infrastructure, the weak market of recycled plastics and the high cost of waste treatment and disposal. The Circular economy package, the European Strategy for plastics in a circular economy and the recent European Green Deal include very ambitious programmes to rethink the entire plastic value chain. As regards packaging, all plastic packaging will have to be 100% recyclable (or reusable) and 55% recycled by 2030. Regions are consequently called upon to set up a robust plan able to fit the European objectives. It takes on greater importance in Emilia Romagna where the Packaging valley is located. This thesis supports the definition of a strategy aimed to establish an after-use plastics economy in the region. The PhD work has set the basis and the instruments to establish the so-called Circularity Strategy with the aim to turn about 92.000t of plastic waste into profitable secondary resources. System innovation, life cycle thinking and participative backcasting method have allowed to deeply analyse the current system, orientate the problem and explore sustainable solutions through a broad stakeholder participation. A material flow analysis, accompanied by a barrier analysis, has supported the identification of the gaps between the present situation and the 2030 scenario. Eco-design for and from recycling (and a mass _based recycling rate (based on the effective amount of plastic wastes turned into secondary plastics), valorized by a value_based indicator, are the key-points of the action plan.

  • Despite waste management systems, plastic packaging is the most often used option due to its flexibility and light weight.

    “Despite the existence of waste management systems, plastic packaging is the most often used option in the industry due to its flexibility and light weight [46,47].”

    From Use of Waste from the Food Industry and Applications of the Fermentation Process to Create Sustainable Cosmetic Products: A Review (2024) · cites this paper as [46]

    Section 3.2 says plastics are widely used to manufacture packaging, and section 4.1 describes a shift toward lighter, flexible packaging. Neither passage establishes that plastic packaging is the most often used option across the industry or that flexibility and light weight are why it holds that position. The waste-management discussion in section 3.3.2 does not make that connection either; page numbers were unavailable. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • Plastic packaging causes pollution of land and marine ecosystems and has a negative influence on human health.

    “It causes the pollution of land and marine ecosystems and has a negative influence on human health [46,48].”

    From Use of Waste from the Food Industry and Applications of the Fermentation Process to Create Sustainable Cosmetic Products: A Review (2024) · cites this paper as [46]

    Section 2.7.1 describes plastic pollution as a threat to terrestrial and ocean ecosystems, and §3.6 identifies plastic packaging as a substantial source of marine litter. Section 3.6 says chemicals from food packaging could affect human health, but explicitly states that their actual health impact is not well defined. The claim presents that potential impact as an established negative effect. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
