Listen to the project leaders Andreas Witschnigg of PreZero Austria, Gerold Breuer of Erema Group, Henrik Eriksson of Baerlocher, together with our CTO Paulo Gomes about how the 100% HDPE PCR watering can project, released at K - The World's No. I Trade Fair for Plastics and Rubber, came to live and why we joined that impressive project.
About the Project:
The #PCR material came from PreZero International, an international environmental services provider active in waste and recycling management. The #HDPE PCR came from, for example, milk packaging and shampoo bottles, and was upgraded in a sophisticated upcycling process.
In the next step, the Austrian recycling machine manufacturer EREMA Group has taken on further processing of the secondary material, including special degassing steps and the use of additives to further improve the material quality. These were contributed by Baerlocher USA, a global acting additive company.
Finally, Kautex proved the processability of the material with extrusion blow molding, and the outcome is just impressive.
Thanks to all participants to make this project happen. We look forward to keep on walking the talk with customers and partners and actively living #sustainable #innovation.... already TODAY!
