Texplast produces PET regranulate and PET flakes from used PET bottles<\/strong>. The regranulate is primarily used for preforms for new PET bottles. The coloured PET flakes produced in the process are used by packaging manufacturer Fromm for the production of packaging tapes. In recent years, however, the focus has increasingly shifted towards the bottle cycle.<\/p>

\u201eThe long-standing, cooperative and fair collaboration with the Fromm Group was the ideal basis for this further development. The takeover enables us to Rapid and efficient increase in capacity<\/strong>. At the same time, we are also securing production for both sides in the future. We can rely on a highly motivated, fully functional team and are proud to welcome all 125 Texplast employees to the Alpla family.\u201c<\/p>

The PET Recycling Team Wolfen specialises in recycling PET bottles from the Yellow Bag. These are from household collection back into the recycling loop<\/strong>.

At the beginning of 2021, the Alpla Group announced that it would invest an average of EUR 50 million per year in the further expansion of its recycling activities until 2025. The main plan is to Internationalisation of measures for high-quality recyclates<\/strong>, to close material cycles in as many regions as possible. In total, the annual production capacity of the Alpla recycling companies, joint ventures and cooperations amounts to around 203,000 tonnes for rPET (recycled PET) and 74,000 tonnes for rHDPE (recycled HDPE).<\/p>
