But how is this possible? I mean, this was plastic waste!
Yes. But when it comes to the most commonly used materials we’re collecting, for instance PET bottles, this waste already had food grade during its first lifecycle. After collecting it, our local teams are washing and sorting the plastic, which is then shredded into flakes.
After this step, the innovative technology we have developed with the Swiss University of Applied Sciences OST, takes over: We transform these flakes into pellets in a pure mechanical process, neither chemicals nor virgin plastics are being added.
We use the latest technology and apply physical methods (vacuum, decompression, degassing, melting) to transform waste and extend the molecular chains of these wasted polymers. The result is a strong, clean and reliable material.
