Composite packaging materials are obtained by combining the exact surfaces of at least two different materials (paper, plastic and aluminum). The purpose of using different materials together is to increase the durability, increase the flexibility and combine the specific properties of the materials.

These packages are often used in ready made soups and fruit juices that we use in our homes.

Composite wastes produced in our country can be obtained from paper, handkerchief, toilet paper and corrugated cardboard. Furthermore, it is considered as fuel in polyethylene and aluminum cement factories because of its high calorific value.

Since composite wastes are large volume wastes, they cause environmental pollution.

We should collect composite wastes separately from other wastes.

Significant energy savings are achieved by recycling aluminum.
