This is what makes it so practical and universally applicable – whether as packaging, in automobile construction, as textiles or as a household item from mixing bowls to rubber ducks. So whoever can change the material properties also decides what can be made from recycled plastic. And in doing so, not only increases the possible uses, but also drives the circular economy forward. Interzero Plastics Innovations is researching the efficient use of our raw materials in the competence center: Recipes are being developed that give the granules the properties that customers in the plastics processing industry need.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”2382″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”115765″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”3″ bottom_padding=”3″ back_color=”color-263416″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”198210″ back_color_type=”uncode-palette”][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ style=”dark” overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″ uncode_shortcode_id=”144568″][vc_single_image media=”17932″ media_width_percent=”20″ alignment=”center” shape=”img-round” uncode_shortcode_id=”394894″][vc_column_text text_color=”color-xsdn” uncode_shortcode_id=”195604″ text_color_type=”uncode-palette”]<\/p>\n

Interzero receives patent for previously impossible mechanical recycling process – HDPE for bottle production for the first time made 100% from used packaging from the yellow bag<\/h2>\n [\/vc_custom_heading][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”17926″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”563155″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”169287″]The patented recycling process was developed in our own competence center for plastics recycling and concerns the production of a processed plastic material from lightweight packaging (LVP) with a proportion of at least 80% HDPE and is used in the production of blow molded products. \n It is a mechanical recycling process in which a special combination of additives produces high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the flowability of which during processing is comparable to that of new plastic. The material used consists of 100% used packaging from the yellow bag in Germany. The new recycling process does not require the addition of newly produced plastic or the re-sorting of used packaging. \n Bottles that can be used for products such as washing, cleaning and detergents can be manufactured according to individual requirements.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_single_image media=”17928″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”801762″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][uncode_block id=”2092″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”3″ bottom_padding=”3″ back_image=”2035″ overlay_color=”color-184177″ overlay_alpha=”35″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”443759″ row_height_pixel=”400″ overlay_color_type=”uncode-palette” el_class=”iz-related-link-row”][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ style=”dark” overlay_alpha=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″ uncode_shortcode_id=”204882″][vc_row_inner limit_content=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/1″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_custom_heading text_size=”h1″ uncode_shortcode_id=”213533″]About Interzero<\/strong>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_size=”h3″ uncode_shortcode_id=”502304″]Join us in creating a future without waste.
