Milk and Yogurt, filled in in reusable glass packaging this is based on the leading dairy products of Austria, the mountainous milk to protect resources. In Ireland you go in other ways. Here milk bottles of household waste are processed into plastic regranulate to make new packaging. Know -how from Upper Austria plays an important role in this.
“The plastic industry has acknowledged that the recycling shares must continue to increase to achieve the aim of the circular economy. More and more high-quality products consist out of regrets,” said Manfred Hackkl when the Erema group he led presented the figures for the financial year of 2024/25.
Turnover fell in 2024/25 compared to the year before
The leading supplier of plastic recycling solutions based in Ansfelden had to reduce a decrease in turnover compared to the previous year by 13 percent to a total of 330 million euros, which was also related to a modest demand from the European market.
But: the use of recycling solutions for the preservation of resources is becoming increasingly important – for the reuse of production waste and applications, thanks to which old plastic bottles for perfect and food -compatible grains, from which bottles can be generated, nevertheless founded. The trend is clearly in the direction of larger systems.
Directors are also instructions that are increasingly withdrawing. The new EU packaging regulation, for example, stipulates that even sensitive packaging must meet a recyclerie of 10 percent.
Used material is sorted and washed
Cleaning and disinfection of the material used are therefore becoming increasingly important. Thanks to a close collaboration with Lindner Washtech from Großbottwar/Germany, you won a lot of know -how in sorting, as well as the cold and hot washing of raw materials.
A project of polymer issues in Ireland shows what is possible. Milk bottles that throw away customers in household waste are collected and then processed into food -compatible regret. This material can then be used again to make new Mich bottles. The EU property inspection procedure is already underway.
