About 70% of all materials used in the packaging industry are multicomponent and
multilayer foils. Packaging foils are produced with using polymers and aluminum thin foils.
Favorable physical and mechanical properties of materials, including higher barrier protection,
are the basic factors in the chemical industry. The resulting post-use and post-production foil
waste creates serious problem with theirs recycling. In the present paper comparison of some
practice collections obtained in the agglomeration and grinding processes are presented.
Additionally, changes in physical and mechanical parameters of tested materials were analyzed.
Experimental investigations revealed, that the materials obtained in the agglomeration process
were better homogenized and possessed improved technical properties.
