Standard crosslinked adhesives and composite foils resist natural decomposition and contaminate organic waste streams. Achieving disintegration under home composting conditions addresses the accumulation of non-degradable polymer waste.

Standard multi-material film structures cannot be easily separated or reprocessed due to permanent adhesive bonding. Solving this allows for high-purity material recovery from flexible packaging waste.

Weak bonding between fibrous reinforcement materials and rubber or wood matrices leads to structural delamination. Enhancing this interface prevents mechanical separation and improves composite durability.
