The CEO brothers Dr Stephan Gneuss and Daniel Gneuss opened the event in the recently built 2700 m² production hall, which had been specially redesigned for the event, and gave an introduction to the technological innovations of the following presentations. The department heads from the Fibre & Pellets, Film & Sheet and R&D divisions provided insights into the key characteristics and applications of the new OMNI recycling technologies. Interactive survey elements during the presentations encouraged a lively exchange of ideas and perspectives on plastics recycling among the participants.
In Gneuss Technical Centre 1 at the main site, the focus was on processing PET and PS regrind into food-grade thermoforming sheet on an OMNImax recycling line. The trials in Technical Centre 2, on the other hand, concentrated on the regranulation of PET fibres using the OMNIboost recycling system and the closed-loop recycling of HDPE bottle caps with the MRSpure extruder.
