Srichakra Polyplast董事总经理Ravindra PV表示：“我们 很自豪能为印度第一个由100%rPET制成的饮料瓶提供回收 PET料。史太林格的PET回收工艺得到了EFSA（欧洲食品药 品监督管理局）的积极意见和FSSAI（印度食品安全标准局） 的批准，我们确保在回收过程中对PET进行彻底净化，并生产 用于PET瓶预制件生产和其他类型食品包装的食品安全rPET 颗粒。” 可口可乐印度公司为其包装饮用水品牌Kinley使用新的 rPET瓶，该品牌目前以一升瓶装销售。在印度食品安全标准 局（FSSAI）对食品安全材料进行彻底审查并遵守其指南后， 批准在食品包装中使用回收PET，使rPET瓶的推出成为可 能。可口可乐印度和西南亚技术与创新副总裁Enrique Acker- mann在一份新闻声明中表示；“与我们创建一个没有浪费的世 界的愿景相一致，我们一直在寻找减少环境碳足迹的方法，并 为创建循环经济做出贡献。我们很自豪成为印度第一家通过推 出由100%回收PET制成的Kinley瓶子为消费者提供可持续包 装选择的饮料公司。我们用食品级rPET制成的新瓶子的价值 超过了最初的使用，因为它们是完全可回收的，可以重新用作 新瓶子。这也是我们努力补充印度政府的‘Swachh Bharat Mis- sion’（翻译为’清洁印度使命’）倡议。” 位于特伦甘纳州海得拉巴的Srichakra使用的史太林格 recoSTAR PET 165 iV+PET瓶对瓶回收线已于2021年投入生 产，是史太林格在印度安装的第一条瓶到瓶回收线。它采用了 加工消费后PET瓶的技术，并获得了欧洲食品安全局（EFSA ）的积极科学意见和FSSAI的批准。生产的rPET颗粒适用于 食品接触，可用于食品和饮料包装，如水瓶和碳酸软饮料、食 品托盘等。使用回收塑料有助于显著减少对原始塑料的需求， 并避免塑料垃圾进入垃圾填埋场或污染环境。 Srichakra已经订购了另外两条史太林格PET瓶对瓶回收 线，将于2024年初交付。 “We are proud to supply the recycled PET Resin for India’s first beverage bottle that is made from 100 % rPET,” said Ravindra PV, Managing Director at Srichakra Polyplast. “With Starlinger’s PET recycling process, which has received positive opinions from EFSA and approvals from FSSAI, we ensure thorough deconta- mination of the PET in the recycling process and produce food- safe rPET pellets for PET bottle preform production and other types of food packaging.” Coca-Cola India uses the new rPET bottle for its packaged drink- ing water brand Kinley, which is currently sold in one-litre bott- les. The launch of the rPET bottle became possible after the Food Safety Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) approved the use of recycled PET in food packaging, following a thorough review of the material regarding food safety and compliance with its guidelines. In a press statement, Enrique Ackermann, Vice Pre- sident Technical and Innovation Coca-Cola India and Southwest Asia, said, “Aligned with our vision of creating a World Without Waste, we are constantly looking for ways to reduce our envi- ronmental footprint and contribute towards creating a circular economy. We are proud to be the first beverage company in India to offer our consumers a sustainable choice of packaging by launching Kinley bottles made from 100% recycled PET. Our new bottles made with food-grade rPET have value beyond their initial use, as they are fully recyclable and can be repurposed into new bottles. This is also an endeavour on our part to comple- ment the Government of India’s ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’ (trans- lated: Clean India Mission) initiative.” The Starlinger recoSTAR PET 165 iV+ PET bottle-to-bottle recy- cling line at Srichakra’s production facility in Hyderabad, Telan- gana State, has taken up production in 2021 and was the first bottle-to-bottle recycling line Starlinger installed in India. It fea- tures technology for processing post-consumer PET bottles and has positive scientific opinions from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and approvals from FSSAI. The produced rPET pellets are suitable for food-contact and can be used for food and beverage packaging like bottles for water and carbonated soft drinks, food trays, etc. The use of recycled plastics helps to reduce the need for virgin plastics significantly and avoids plastic waste going to landfills or polluting the environment. Srichakra has already ordered another two Starlinger PET bottle- to-bottle recycling lines which will be delivered beginning of 2024. 39 Extrusion Asia Edition 2/2023 ➠ Starlinger recycling technology Furtherstrasse 47a, 2564 Weissenbach, Austria www.recycling.starlinger.com ➠ Srichakra Polyplast www.srichakra.in www.smart-extrusion.com
