Plastic is much more recyclable than you think; in fact, many of the plastic polymers can potentially be recycled into new products while minimising environmental pollution.
Plastic has a low environmental impact in the production phase due to its relatively low melting temperature and light weight. It also has a low impact on scarce resources as it derives from processing waste, if virgin, or from recycled material (unlike other packaging, such as paper that can contribute to deforestation).
The Group is increasingly focusing on solutions for the recovery of post-consumer plastic and its processing. We are constantly working with the biggest industry players to offer innovative solutions using recycled or biodegradable plastic.
Our aim is to provide our customers with the best possible technologies so that they can process recycled plastics with the highest quality standards, optimising impacts and offering reliable, high-performance, design products.
