Electrical and electronics manufacturers want to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from their products and optimize waste management and recycling for them. This can be achieved, among other ways, by using more sustainable thermoplastics and quality-assured recyclates. A close cooperation between companies to establish material cycles and the recycling-friendly design of equipment are also important.

A growing number of companies and industrial sectors would like to use recyclates for their products. However, the application is frequently still confronted with considerable difficulties. And the extension of recycling to other fields and sectors also poses new questions. An overview of the current status and associated technical solutions was provided in conference “Forum Plastic Recyclates” at the end of March.

Start into a Second Life for Plastics

Chemical recycling processes permit treatment of plastic waste – also if highly contaminated. The results are recyclates that have the same quality as virgin material. For example, newly developed processes enable used PET plastics to be returned to the material cycle. Hereby, the end products‘ quality is determined by the recycled material‘s purity. This can be significantly increased by means of efficient filtration and cake washing.

The RPF rotary pressure filter is a continuously operating device for pressure filtration, cake washing, and drying of suspensions. Cake washing plays an important role for improving the processing efficiency of chemical recycling.

Tomra continues to play a key role in closing the loop on PET beverage containers but recognizes that there is more to be done. Now political framework, bold decisions and smart investments in collecting, sorting and recycling should be used to improve circularity across all material streams and to overcome today’s supply chain bottlenecks.

The aim of the forum was to furnish new tools and methods for the design, use, recycling and re-use of sustainable packaging. Over 400 participants and 46 speakers, including 20 from abroad attended the event.

The curtain has just fallen on the second edition of Packaging Speaks Green, the international forum promoting the culture of sustainability and circular economy, held in conjunction with Ipack-Ima and Greenplast in Milan, Italy.

Over 400 participants and 46 speakers, including 20 from abroad, enlivened the proceedings with panel discussions, debates and case histories. The aim of the forum was to furnish new tools and methods for the design, use, recycling and re-use of sustainable packaging.

“Now in its second year, <a href="https://packagingspeaksgreen.com/en" target="_blank">Packaging Speaks Green</a> again proved to be a valuable networking opportunity and a chance for international operators to get up to speed on the important topic of sustainability in packaging supply chains. Our main aim was, and is, to educate on the concept of supply chain sustainability, providing a comprehensive and rational overview of all the elements that contribute to the circular economy; in other words, to show the state of the art to suppliers, consumers and large retailers. This year’s forum was particularly special, as it coincided with two events, namely Ipack-Ima and Greenplast, that are the ultimate expression of green technology applied to production processes and packaging”, remarked Gian Paolo Crasta, project director of Packaging Speaks Green.

The meeting attracted high-profile guests to the Fiera Milano exhibition center. These included Alec Ross, technology policy expert, entrepreneur and author, whose curriculum includes the role of senior advisor for innovation to Hillary Clinton during her time as US Secretary of State, Yamilín González Milián, who is Cuba’s deputy industry minister, and Gian De Belder, technical director, R&D packaging sustainability at Procter & Gamble, to name just three.

Packaging Speaks Green 2022 was organized by Pack-Media with the support of Ucima (Italian Packaging Machinery Manufacturers’ Association) and Amaplast (Italian Plastics and Rubber Processing Machinery and Molds Manufacturers’ Association). The initiative was supported by several of the most outstanding names in the packaging machinery manufacturing world: Ima, Marchesini Group, Robopac and Ocme. In addition to these international players, it also had the support of IIP – Italian Plastics Institute. The event was organized under the patronage of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and Agenzia ICE.

As announced during the event, the third edition of Greenplast will take place in 2023.
