Separation/recovery method for laminated film

A method for recovering resin films from a laminate, the method comprising:

• a step 1 of immersing the laminate in an alkaline solution while stirring the laminate with heating at 20° C. to 90° C. or ultrasonically vibrating the laminate to separate the resin films from the laminate;
• and
• a step 2 of recovering the resin films,
• wherein the laminate comprises:
• a first resin film layer (i) of a first resin film,
• an adhesive layer (ii) of a reactive adhesive comprising an ester bond,
• at least one layer (iii) selected from the group consisting of a printing ink layer and a primer layer, wherein said at least one layer (iii) contains a compound having a carboxyl group or an anhydride of the compound, wherein the compound or the anhydride of the compound is selected from the group consisting of saturated fatty acids, unsaturated fatty acids, hydroxy acids, aromatic carboxylic acids, dicarboxylic acids, tricarboxylic acids, oxocarboxylic acids, carboxylic acid derivatives, a maleinized rosin resin, and acid anhydrides thereof,
• at least one of a second resin film layer (iv) of a second resin film, and a third layer (v) selected from the group consisting of a metal foil and a deposited film layer,
• wherein the adhesive layer (ii) and said at least one layer (iii) are provided between the first resin film layer (i) and the second resin film layer (iv), or between the first resin film layer (i) and the third layer (v).
