For the first time, in a test project with Der Gr\u00fcne Punkt, the packaging film for Pepsi bottles and cans was made from ten per cent recycled plastic from the Yellow Bag, 40 per cent recycled plastic from other sources and only half new plastic.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

If further quality tests are successful, the next Goal of converting regular production<\/strong> - on film made from film. Up to now, bottles and beverage cans have mostly been sold in shrink film as six-packs, which in turn are sold on pallets. To ensure safe transport, the six-packs are wrapped in metres of pallet film. All made from new plastic. <\/p>

\u201eThis is a charming way of attracting the consumer's attention and distinguishing ourselves, as well as an expression of our quality standards in design and therefore an important marketing tool. But they end up in the bin very quickly. That's why we asked our film suppliers to develop a recycled version for us.\u201c<\/p>

Kai Klicker-Brunner<\/strong>, Head of Corporate Affairs and part of the management of PepsiCo Germany.<\/p><\/blockquote>

The supplier contacted Der Gr\u00fcne Punkt, which, among other things, is responsible for the Separate collection of used sales packaging in Germany<\/strong> and is now one of the leading plastics recyclers.<\/p>

The pilot test at the beginning of December 2021 at the Pepsi plant in Niederroden Trials on the packaging lines for 0.33-litre cans and 1.5-litre PET bottles was a success: 50 per cent of the packaging films in the test run were made from recycled material<\/strong>. A fifth of the recycled LDPE (low-density polyethylene, soft polyethylene) in the shrink film was replaced with recyclate from the Yellow Bag. \u201eIf the packaging also passes further tests, the the starting signal to reorganise our production<\/strong>\u201c, says Kai Klicker-Brunner.<\/p>

Up to a quarter of the packaging waste in the Yellow Bag or Yellow Bin across Europe consists of film. Recycled for a long time Systec Plastics Eisfeld<\/strong> these. But this is a huge effort for the Green Dot subsidiary.<\/p>

\u201eFoil has a very large surface area and therefore absorbs dirt like a sponge, always remains grey, still smells strong even after cleaning and is not as dense as the hard plastic of a yoghurt pot, for example.\u201c\u00a0<\/p>

Norbert V\u00f6ll,<\/strong> Press Officer Der Gr\u00fcne Punkt\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>

While more than half of the plastic waste in the Yellow Bag is turned into high-quality new recycling products, including packaging for detergents, cleaning agents and cleaning products, for example, the films are only turned into simple products such as construction buckets or lawn grids. \u201eThat wasn't enough for us, which is why we have developed a new process<\/strong>.\u201c The sorted films are cleaned and shredded after quality control. These plastic shreds are fed into an extruder, melted and a granulate is produced. \u201eFrom this new recyclate, which we Systals<\/a> much higher quality products can be manufactured, including flexible packaging,\u201c says Norbert V\u00f6ll. \u00a0<\/p>

This development is only just beginning. The ten per cent initially added to the film is set to grow gradually. The goal is clean material for new, stable films<\/strong>. \u201eIn view of the huge quantities of film, there is huge potential here,\u201c says V\u00f6ll, and Michael Wiener, Managing Director of Duales System Holding, adds: \u201eIf a customer like PepsiCo is the first to use this material in such an important application as six-pack film, then that is a major step forward. a really courageous step.<\/strong>\"<\/p>

In future, the packaging film will no longer look as clear and bright as before. \u201eBut if people know and understand, why the packaging looks different<\/strong>, They will certainly put up with it,\u201c says Kai Klicker-Brunner from PepsiCo.<\/p>
