Highly efficient anti-odour technology from EREMA: RegrindPro® & ReFresher

Odour-optimised premium recycled pellets directly from contaminated post-consumer regrind material? The efficient interplay of the EREMA technologies INTAREMA® TVEplus® RegrindPro® machine with the ReFresher module makes it possible. The unbeatable combination of top pellet quality and odour optimisation opens up completely new application opportunities for recycled plastics.

The superclean recycling process was also certified by the FDA in August 2019 as suitable for the production of milk and juice bottles, as well as meat trays, disposable tableware and cutlery, provided the input material comes from milk and juice bottles. In November 2020, the FDA confirmed an additional input stream and more application uses for the recyclate treated using this process. In addition to all HDPE beverage containers, HDPE closures of HDPE, PP and PET beverage bottles can also be processed. Material containing up to 100 percent recyclate can be used in the production of containers for direct contact with food of all kinds.

Shower gel bottle made from 100 percent PCR-HDPE
An outstanding example of a high-end product made from post-consumer recyclate is the cosmetics packaging that was launched as a world first in spring 2019. This was a shower gel bottle made from 100 percent PCR-HDPE. The recyclate is produced by an INTAREMA® TVEplus® RegrindPro® machine plus ReFresher module.
