Extrusion International 4-2023-USA

25 Extrusion International 4/2023 cling of plastics at Interzero Plastics Innovations in Maribor, Slovenia. The Centre of Competence is the only state-accredited research insti- tute in the EU based on the labora- tory standard ISO/IEC 17025:2017, which has specialised in the devel- opment and analysis of recycled plastics. ”We can look back on long-term experience and competency in plas- tic development and analytics“, claims Markus Müller-Drexel, CEO of Interseroh+, the recycling alli- ance for Europe’s leading supplier of recycling solutions, Interzero. The laboratory has consistently developed in the past few years and is now entering the market with a further range of services. In five laboratories equipped with state-of-the-art technical devices for analysing material quality - from the mechanical, thermal, and rheological properties to sensor technology and colour - there are also machines for processing mate- rials as well as an NIR separator for simulating the behaviour of pack- aging in the sorting process. The new performance is also re- flected in the HDPE patent. ”With this process we gain significant sav - ings in raw material, energy, CO 2 emissions and effort invested in the sorting of lightweight packag- ing waste, when generating recy- cled plastics.“ outlines Dr. Manica Ulcnik-Krump, Managing Director of Interzero Plastics Innovations. ”These savings mean that the sus- tainability balance is leading on a global scale compared to conven- tional procedures. Taking us a very large step closer to our vision of a world without waste.“ The Slovenian company Rupar Plastika is one of the first to use the new process. They produce mould- ed plastic parts from bottles to clo- sures for well-known manufactur- ers and offer a range of different plastic processing technologies, such as extrusion blow moulding, injection stretch blow moulding, injection blow moulding and injec- tion moulding.
