PET strapping is suitable for recycling on paper, but often ends up being incinerated due to storage and logistical challenges. The Westerwald-based company re-strap is now endeavouring to set up a nationwide take-back system for the bulky plastic straps.<\/strong><\/p>

Strapping bands come in a wide variety of sizes and designs and are used to secure transported goods, create bundles or as a handling aid. In many places in trade and industry, large quantities of it regularly accumulate after unpacking. Subsequent handling is made more difficult by the stiffness of the material, among other things<\/strong>. The result is a large volume with a low bulk density.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It is difficult to recycle this high-quality raw material, as the subsequent logistics and handling costs often exceed the market value of the material or at least consume a large proportion of it. \u201eUnfortunately, the CO2 balance in these cases is catastrophic<\/strong>\u201e, says re-strap Managing Director Matthias Sch\u00e4fer. \u201eUnfortunately, far too much of the strapping ends up in incineration instead of in a new product.\u201c<\/p>

The system developed by re-strap now offers the possibility of returning the raw material to the recycling cycle sustainably and profitably. For this purpose, re-strap provides interested companies with the necessary shredding technology and exchange containers for the material.<\/strong> (logistics standard, Euro pallet size, stackable) and exchanges the full containers for empty ones on site. \u201eThe aim is to offer the customer simple handling and maximum raw material reimbursement while minimising logistics costs<\/strong>\u201e, explains Sch\u00e4fer.<\/p>
