At the Arburg Technology Days, a high-performance injection moulding machine produced Osko plant pots from the post-consumer recyclate (PCR) Systalen. The machine manufacturer demonstrated how modern recyclate can be easily processed into high-quality products with 100 per cent recyclate content.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Der Gr\u00fcne Punkt provided Systalen brand post-consumer recyclate (PCR) for this purpose. \u201eWe used the Systalen PCR material on our electric Allrounder 720 A four plant pots each in a cycle time of just 4.8 seconds with consistently high injection moulding quality<\/strong> produced,\u201c says Reiner Schmid, expert for the packaging industry at Arburg. \u201eDigital pilot functions in the Gestica control system, such as our new \u201aaXw Control RecyclatePilot\u2018, ensure consistently constant mould filling. This means that the PCR can be processed practically as easily and reliably as virgin material.\u201c<\/p>\n

The starting materials for the post-consumer recyclate Systalen are Plastic waste from household collection (yellow bag & yellow bin)<\/strong>. These are first sorted by type of plastic in sorting plants and then delivered to the Systec Plastics GmbH recycling plant in H\u00f6rstel as unmixed bales of polypropylene (PP). After a successful quality inspection and several shredding, separation and washing stages, the shredded and washed plastic flakes are melted, degassed, micro-filtered and finally granulated into high-quality Systalen. The post-consumer granulate can be used to produce new packaging or products, such as OSKO flower and plant pots.<\/p>

\u201eWe have been processing recycled plastic from the dual system, or better known as the \u201ayellow bag\u2018, for ten years. We also use colours and additives that make the pot recyclable again. So we return the pot to the dual system<\/strong>. The cycle begins again. The recyclate from the Systalen brand Green Dot is easy to process and the quality is comparable to that of virgin material,\u201c explains Ralf Ostkotte, Managing Director of Osko GmbH, Ochtrup.<\/p>\n
