PLASTIC IN A CIRCULAR ECONOMY
 |
Plastic is a high-quality material and we should not treat it as waste. By recycling plastics, we can save raw materials, increase our competitiveness and create new jobs. To prevent waste of materials, waste generation must be minimised. This is possible by extending the life cycle of products through the implementation of a circular economy. The value of a sustainable economy is also to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions in the extraction and processing of raw materials. |

PRODUCTIONRecyclate can be up to 100% of the raw material |
USEThe product made from recyclates does not differ in its parameters from the product made from virgin materials |
SEGREGATIONThe used packaging is collected and transported to a recycling facility |
PROCESSINGThe packaging is cleaned and shredded, and the resulting granulates are used to produce further packaging |
Currently, food packaging is produced from a variety of polymers, the selection of which is driven by the need to give the packaging specific characteristics and functions to meet specific customer needs. As a result, packaging can be multi-material and consequently difficult or even unsuitable for subsequent recycling. In order for waste collection and segregation to be effective, it is necessary to give the packaging features enabling its future recycling already at the design stage. MONO-PET KGL packaging (which must be closed with suitably selected polyester films) and patented RESPECT by KGL packaging (which should be closed with universal polyester and polyolefin films) is the best solution for food companies looking for modern and innovative packaging that meets the circular economy requirements (CER).
