PET and Plastics
Recycling Plants
We have developed and assisted to set-up plastics and PET bottle-to-bottle recycling plants lay-out for flake washing step of processes. We optimized decontamination processes to improve efficiencies, yields, and succeed in meeting the quality requirements of final clients. Examples in the area of quality improvements are reduction of excessive yellowing in recycled PET material or yield improvements.
