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
