Mondi und Hazeleger Kaas bringen recycelbare Käseverpackungen auf den niederländischen Markt
Der weltweit führende Verpackungs- und Papierkonzern Mondi hat gemeinsam mit dem Käseverpackungsunternehmen Hazeleger Kaas und dem Markeninhaber Westland Kaas die bekannte niederländische Marke Maaslander in EnvelopeForm verpackt, einer neuen, vollständig recycelbaren Polypropylen (PP) Monomaterial-Verpackung. Der meiste Schnittkäse in den Niederlanden wird immer noch in Folien aus gemischtem Material verpackt, die schwer zu recyceln sind. Diese neue Verpackung verfügt über eine PP-Ober- und Unterfolie für Tiefziehanwendungen und ein PP-Etikett anstelle eines Papieretiketts, so dass die neue Lösung vollständig recycelt werden kann. Die Verpackung ist vom deutschen Institut cyclos-HTP als recycelbar zertifiziert worden.

SABIC and Local Motors conduct feasibility study of recycling scrap thermoplastic parts and shavings from 3D printing process
With the desire to improve the circularity of large format additive manufacturing (LFAM), SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, and Local Motors, a next-generation vehicle manufacturer, completed a joint study on the feasibility of recycling scrap thermoplastic parts and shavings from the 3D printing process. The study explored more sustainable alternatives to landfilling large, printed parts in anticipation of wider adoption of LFAM. It included analyzing the printability and mechanical properties of SABIC’s LNP™ THERMOCOMP™ AM reinforced compound, used by Local Motors, after being printed, reclaimed, ground and reprocessed into pellet form. The study determined that material from post-production parts and scrap can potentially be reused in LFAM or other processes, such as injection molding or extrusion, at amounts up to 100 percent. These insights can help identify a feasible path to circularity and an extended lifecycle for materials used by the LFAM industry.
