The Swabian company Almawin recently introduced a bottle cap made from 100 per cent PP recyclate. This means that only the label of the Winterbach-based company's detergent containers is made from non-recycled material.<\/strong><\/p>

Numerous companies are in the process of switching their packaging to recycled materials. However, the use of recycled plastic is generally more complicated for lids and similar closures than for containers<\/strong>. This is due both to the mechanical stress on this part of the bottle and to the different properties of recyclates during colouring.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The company Almawin from the Swabian town of Winterbach has now introduced such lids made from recycled material. The bottles of Almawin toilet cleaner are now being sold with lids made from recycled PP.<\/strong> The containers have long been made from 100 per cent recycled plastic, usually PE, PET or PP. The company now wants to switch the labels to recycled material so that the bottles can be produced entirely from recycled material.<\/p>

According to the company, since 2018 it has Save 200,000 kilograms of virgin plastic through the use of recycled materials<\/strong> and now sees itself another step closer to the circular economy with the new lids.<\/p>
