2. DESIGNING FOR RECYCLING

The panel is a compendium of knowledge for technologists, specialists in research

and development and managers of operational, quality and purchasing divisions.

Key information for people involved in packaging design.

The panel will be divided into two parts: rPET packaging and rHDPE packaging.

Our experts:

• will present the most important differences in the comparison of recycled materials with „virgin” materials,

• explain what to expect when using packaging with the addition of recycled material and whether it will be possible to maintain the performance parameters when manufacturing with packaging containing recycled materials

• will show how to analyse the current packaging portfolio in terms of the use of regranulate, indicating the shapes and construction of packaging that are recycling-friendly, with raw materials containing low or high PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) additives.

• show specific examples of how to effectively design for recycling and with the use of recycled materials (from recycling)

We also invite our guests to visit the PRT Radomsko plant (PET Recycling Team Radomsko)
