NGR Launches PET Household Recycling Waste Project

摘要

A new project in Austria seeks to show proof of concept for recycling PET household waste into applications beyond PET bottles.Started in June,PET household waste such as blister packaging,thermoformed trays,and films is collected and sorted into a total of six material types.The subsequent flake production-including washing and shredding-is conducted by Kruschitz GmbH.The PET flakes are reprocessed and decontaminated using NGR's LSP(Liquid State Polycondensation)process in Feld-kirchen,where both rPET granulate and rPET sheets will be produced.During the LSP process,the rPET is decontaminated at the molecular level and the polymer chains are extended to increase the intrinsic viscosity.
