Europe’s First Polyester Textile Recycling System Realised
Project Re:Claim, a joint venture between the Salvation Army Trading Company and Project Plan B, has been nominated for the Plastics Industry Awards 2024 in the "Recycler of the Year" category. Using an ISEC evo system from PURE LOOP to process used garments and other textiles, the project is Europe’s first polyester textile recycling system.
Performance Test: PCR and NanoLayer in Stretch Film Production
The basic idea of nanolayer technology in stretch film production is to create thin, waffle-like structures by repeatedly layering the melt from at least two extruders. A central question arises in connection with the use of post-consumer resin (PCR): Does the use of PCR work when producing these layers? SML has made extensive trials to get the answer.
