ILLIG APET to CPET Upcycling | © ILLIG Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG

Enhancing mixed bottle flakes by turning them into extrudable recycled crystalline polyethylene terephthalate (rCPET) was the goal of a joint development project looking to close the gap in the PET recycling system. By successfully producing a sheet made from recycled material suitable for high-quality applications such as thermoformed food trays, Gneuss, Sukano and Illig have demonstrated that this approach is indeed possible.

The technical contribution was published in KUNSTSTOFFE 6/2019 and KUNSTSTOFFE international 6/2019. PDF documents in the download area of this news.
