When it comes to recycling strapping, the Austrian Teufelberger Group will be using its expertise together with PreZero to give the products a new lease of life. The companies signed a contract to this effect in mid-January.
PreZero is developing a „closed loop“ together with the world's largest system-independent manufacturer of strapping bands, which is recommended as a real added value for all sustainably positioned customers of the Austrian family business: PreZero collects the polypropylene and PET strapping bands and transports them to special recycling plants. From there, the material is then sent to the production plants of Teufelberger, where they are processed - „strap to strap“ - into new strapping. With the „Closed Loop“, the two companies will be making a further contribution to Conserving natural resources, reducing energy consumption and CO2-emissions.
„The collaboration with PreZero is an important milestone for us in terms of the circular economy. I am proud that we, as the European market leader for plastic strapping, have been able to gain such a renowned partner for a long-term collaboration. During the discussions, it quickly became clear that PreZero, as part of the Schwarz Group, is a partner with big goals and therefore a perfect fit for us. This enables us to provide our customers with an optimal solution for the collection, disposal and recycling of strapping.“
Jürgen Scheiblehner, CEO Strapping Solutions
„The Strap to Strap solution contributes to our own vision of New Thinking for a Clean Tomorrow. We are thus operating a genuine circular economy for a material flow that we also use to a considerable extent in our own retail division. Thanks to our expertise in the development and operation of disposal and recycling solutions, we are creating real added value by securing recyclable materials and thus contributing to the jointly developed sustainability strategy and climate strategy of the Schwarz Group companies.“
