1.Recycling plastics

We recycle all kinds of industrial plastics :

  • Low Density and Linear Low Density Polyethylene Film (LDPE and LLDPE)
  • High Density PE (HDPE Film)
  • HDPE injection grade materials from dustbins, pallets, crates, boxes, etc.
  • Polypropylene scraps (PP), Polystyrene film scraps (PS), etc.

We recycle plastic materials from selected waste collection  :

  • Industrial and Retailing films
  • Agricultural plastic waste
  • Household waste: PE Films and bags, HDPE bottles, PET bottles, etc.

2. Adding mineral material to plastics

This process is achieved with the use of specifically developed equipment and involves :

  1. A rigorous selection of the mineral raw material. The main used material is Calcium Carbonate that we use in an extremely fine and perfectly pure form
  2. A progressive incorporation of the various materials
  3. A perfect homogenization of the mixture

What are the pros of this process?  :

  1. Homogenisation of recycled material which is essential when using the reprocessed material again in a new industrial process. Indeed, plastic processing industries require a constant quality level in the entrant materials.
  2. Improvements of the mechanical properties of the raw material. Tests prove that plastics made from our modified materials are more resistant (in terms of both traction and tear resistance) than products made from the same basic materials without the addition of minerals.
  3. Optimisation of extrusion machines flow. For our extruder customers this means an increase in production from 5 to 20%. Moreover our products help a lot to stabilize film beads.
  4. Consumption reduction of plastic (which is a limited and unrenewable resource) by substitution of the plastic. From 10 to 35 % of the polyethylene is replaced by the mineral material.

3. Adding Bio material to plastic

Our aims are: :

  • To increase the degradability of products and develop biodegradable and recyclable plastics at a competitive price with new properties. Today, biodegradable plastics are about 5 times more expensive than traditional virgin plastics which constitutes a major obstacle to their development. Furthermore, the physical properties of today’s bioplastics do not allow them to be used in all areas as traditional plastics are. For example in terms of food contact, barrier properties and waterproofness etc.. (CURRENTLY UNDER RESEARCH)
  • To add natural materials to finished products in order to create decomposable bin liners, anti-insect refuse bags and insect repulsive agricultural films. (CURRENTLY AVAILABLE)
