Packaging Sustainability and Incorporation of Recycled Material

Statutory recyclate quotas and the specifications of brand-name producers are weighing heavily on the packaging branch these days and turning recyclate availability into a hot issue. Some polymers are simply not available in sufficient amounts. Experts at the 31st Dresden Packaging Conference provided insights into the current situations and explained why the situation could worsen in the future.

Recyclates of many polymer types are hard to get right now.

Over past months, many in-house workflows and development processes have slowed down and also changed. Nevertheless, time has not stood still, also not in injection molding technology. The debate and development have been shaped by two themes: digitalization and the circular economy. Below are some examples of developments and projects that underpin this trend.

There Is More beyond the Horizon

Thanks to the combination of its Intarema TVEplus RegrindPro machine with the ReFresher, Erema has enabled the PCR-HDPE produced with it to be used in proportions of up to 100 percent for the production of packaging for direct contact with food and beverages.

In the Erema Customer Centre, test runs using an industrial class extruder-ReFresher combination can also be carried out from April onwards. Michael Heitzinger, Clemens Kitzberger and Thomas Hofstätter very much hope that more customer visits will be possible soon.

Biodegradable plastics are special polymers designed to biodegrade after use. But conventional granulation equipment cannot handle biodegradable production rejects adequately. The new Bio-Gran technology by CMG Granulators was designed to accomplish this objective.

The range of capacities of the Bio-Gran line spans form 200 kg/h all the way to 2000 kg/h.

PlasticsEurope plans to significantly increase investment in chemical recycling: from EUR 2.6 billion in 2025 to EUR 7.2 billion in 2030. To further accelerate investments in this key technology and the transition towards a circular economy, the Association calls for a strong policy and regulatory framework.

1.2 million t of recycled plastics is the industry’s target for chemical recycling in 2025. By 2030, this figure is expected to rise to 3.4 million t per year

D-Expo Circular Economy - The Digital Trade Fair for Plastics Sustainability

Industrial companies, associations, and institutions concerned with the topics of circular economy and plastics sustainability will present themselves on the digital platform D-Expo Circular Economy from April 13 – 16, 2021.

Sustainability has never been a more important or current topic in the plastics industry. With this in mind, Carl Hanser Verlag invites you to the virtual trade fair D-Expo Circular Economy, an international industry get-together from April 13–16, 2021. Industrial companies, associations, and institutions concerned with the topics of circular economy and plastics sustainability will present themselves on the digital platform.

The D-Expo Circular Economy builds on the success of the three virtual industry fairs that Carl Hanser Verlag already organized in fall 2020, For example, at the Germany-focused plastics trade show D-EXPO Kunststoff (November 2020), around 700 visitors were able to connect directly with exhibitors and enjoy the extensive live supporting program, completely online.

D-Expo Circular Economy, a fully English-language event, is aimed at a global audience. Get first-hand information about important developments and trends toward a circular economy of plastics, as well as new products and services relevant to this area.

Live Interaction with Experts and Exhibitors

The digital trade show offers direct communication between visitors and exhibitors with live interaction and manned booths. Exhibiting companies come from the fields of machinery and equipment, sustainability, plastics recycling, processing machinery, service, consulting, and more. D-EXPO Circular Economy offers a large industry network – and it stands for great transparency: anyone visiting the trade fair agrees to be visible with at least their name when registering. So during the event, “everyone can see everyone” and, if desired, address them directly via chat.

In the auditorium, an exciting supporting program with web conferences, interviews, and presentations on sustainability topics will be broadcast via livestream, on innovations and trends. After each presentation, questions can be put individually to the experts.

While there are clear differences between virtual trade shows and live events, digital events also offer a varied and informative program and a range of useful functionalities and interaction options.

<ul><li>International trade fair: Discover innovative products and offers from all over the world (English-language event)</li><li>Live event: communicate directly with exhibitors, speakers, and international plastics professionals</li><li>Informative supporting program: expert presentations, interviews, and discussion panels</li><li>Presentation files are available “on-demand” after the show</li><li>Simply digital, no matter where you are: convenient, environmentally friendly, COVID-safe, and efficiently accessible – all you need is Internet access</li><li>Free of charge for visitors: simply register and be there</li></ul>
