Details
Before: recycled granulate. After: technical textiles. The best thing that can be done with PET carrier films from the graphics industry? Converting them into pure rPET which can be used as the basis for fibers and the resulting technical textiles for the automotive industry. A sustainable approach with a wide range of possible applications. Especially as up to 25% of the plastic used in new cars should come from recycled sources in the future. RECOSYS® rPET can support this.
The Jury‘s Statement
Many modern plastics significantly impact the environment due to their short lifespan and limited recyclability. With »Technical Textiles made of RECOSYS® rPET«, a closed-loop recycling process has been established, converting used PET carrier films from the graphic industry into high-quality textile fibers. These fibers are versatile in application, including in the automotive industry, and contribute to the reduction of plastic waste through their quality and processing properties.
