The planned expansion of the supplier of products made from recycled material and barrier packaging includes one extrusion line and two thermoformers<\/strong> with a total capacity of 15,000 tonnes of rPET\/PET.<\/p>

\"This investment supports our growth strategy and is the result of our commitment to sustainable innovation. With this expansion, we are responding to our customers' continued demand for sustainable options for food packaging, pharmaceutical products, consumer goods and label films. In collaboration with our customers, we will therefore continue to develop solutions that reduce the need for new raw materials, which is essential for the sustainability goals of our industry in the future.\" Scott Tracey<\/strong>Chief Executive Officer<\/p><\/blockquote>

The extrusion line is designed to optimise the production of recyclable pharmaceutical blister films kpNext<\/strong> and the recyclable Smartcycle labelling and consumer packaging films<\/strong> support. The thermoformers will produce the kp Elite mono-material trays, which are made from up to 100 per cent recycled PET and can be easily recycled.<\/p>

Kl\u00f6ckner Pentaplast<\/a> is currently finalising the location for the expansion. It is to be located next to one of the company's six North American plants. The plant will ready for operation in the first quarter of 2024<\/strong> be.\u00a0<\/p>
