Day 2
Recycling of PET on the co-rotating twin screw extruder
Coperion has been manufacturing twin screw extruders for the plastics and food industries for more than 60 years. The ZSK is the suitable twin screw for the processing and recycling of PET. Due to the high torque, the PET can be processed very gently at low screw speeds, and due to the large free volume, even high amounts of volatile components can be degassed safely
With the ZSK process, throughput is not limited by predrying capacity or screw size. For example, a ZSK with a screw diameter of D = 177 mm achieves a throughput of 8,000 kg/h. This throughput would require at least three 200 mm single-screw extruders.

rPET: 20 Years ago & now
Paul Niedl will give an overview about the rPET market 20 years ago and how it has changed until today.
He will focus on current recycling targets, take a look on PET recycling capacities and discuss Extended Producer Responsibility.
20 years ago, the economy was very price-driven – how has this changed over time? And last but not least: What has changed at Starlinger in the field of PET recycling?
PET recycling solutions from 2004 compared to the latest technology, Starlinger’s new recoSTAR PET art.

A NEW LEVEL IN PET RECYCLING – Super Clean Recycling Systems for the Processing of Industrial- and Post-Consumer PET waste
Plastics recyclers face a dilemma: on the one hand, the required recycling quotas mean that the quality requirements for the recyclate are constantly increasing. On the other hand, the properties of the available plastic waste are subject to strong fluctuations. The new OMNI recycling systems from Gneuss meet exactly these requirements. OMNI recycling systems are characterised by „super-clean“ recycling qualities in a single process step. This applies to all kind of PET waste.

EREMA Group’s Contribution to a Safe an “Easy to Digest” Circular Economy: CADEL’s Software Tool for Risk Assessment, Interpretation and Analysis
The use of recycled material in applications of added value, such as packaging designed for food contact, needs an exhaustive and routine quality control.
INTERPRETATION of data of the chemical composition of the material based upon rules such as FCM EU 10/2011, REACH, etc. is vital.
Cadel helps you to carry out an effective risk assessment of your recycled plastic material to ensure their safety and to comply with the standards stablished by the relevant global organizations.
Cadel has developed a software tool that allows knowing if the material complies with the safety requirements for applications such as food contact, cosmetics or hygiene.
Cadel helps you to visualize the Marketplace positioning of your rPET material with regard to other competitors thanks to our database.
The software tool takes into consideration the safety standards that are currently scattered among different legislation and protocols.
And it promotes a quicker interpretation and economizes in data processing.
