Klöckner Pentaplast works with Petcore Europe to prove tray to tray recycling
08/27/2019
Klöckner Pentaplast (KP) a plastics manufacturer of food packaging for fresh food, recently ran a successful pilot as part of a Working Group with Petcore Europe which demonstrates that post-consumer pots, tubs and trays made from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), collected from the domestic recycling stream, can be used as raw materials for new packages (trays).
This is the first project of its kind in Europe to demonstrate that rPET flake from food trays can be extruded into new PET rigid film, which can then be thermoformed back into pots, tubs or trays. |
