RESILUX and INEX close the loop in UHT milk packaging

The Rebirth series: A circular and sustainable solution

Central to the shared ambition of Resilux and Inex is the implementation of a comprehensive recycling process for used milk bottles. Through collaboration with Fost+, the collected milk bottles are sorted as a separate stream, revalorised, and recycled. The Poly Recycling division of Resilux takes these white PET bottles, sorts, grinds, washes, and regranulates them into food-grade feedstock. This closed-loop approach ensures that the old milk bottles can be reborn as new ones, contributing to a circular economy.

The closed-loop

Rebirth series is 20% to 40% lighter than HDPE bottles, resulting in a reduced carbon footprint. Furthermore, Inex’s efficient aseptic PET line offers flexibility in switching between different bottle sizes. The absence of an aluminium seal on PET bottles adds to their ecological value and enhances convenience for end consumers: the bottle can be stored horizontally in the fridge without any risk of leakage.

Inspire the industry

The introduction of the Rebirth series marks a significant milestone in the journey towards circularity for opaque white bottles. With this innovative solution, Resilux and Inex hope to inspire the industry to work together and join them in closing the loop. A promotion for a sustainable future for the milk packaging industry.
