Plastics are well suited as packaging materials. Topics such as "sustainability" and "environment" have become increasingly important in recent years. For this reason, interest in biomaterials and recycled materials has risen sharply in recent years.

What qualities are there? How can I process recycled materials/what problems can I expect? Although PCR materials are gray, can I still offer colorful bottles? Are the mechanical properties better or worse? Are the materials safe for food and cosmetic applications?

If you have such questions about PCR materials, this is the seminar for you; we'll clear them all up!

The learning areas in detail:

      Theory:

      • The legal situation
      • The recycling process
        chemical recycling
        mechanical recycling
        solvent recycling
      • News/trends from the industry
      • Important terms for recycled materials
      • Checking recyclability
      • Recycled materials - grades on the market
      • PCR processing challenge
      • ReCo3 for processing PCR materials
      • mechanical properties
      • migration of substances - product safety

      Practice:

      • Getting to know different PCR materials
      • Set up and produce bottle from 100% PCR material
      • Produce ReCo3 bottle with PCR in the main layer
