Using the cascade extrusion system COREMA, the environmental service provider Interseroh produces tailor-made recompounds for very high-quality applications in just one process step. Additives, modifiers and inorganic fillers can be added directly during production in proportions of 0.25 to 40 percent. Quality control is performed digitally and in real time with the EREMA re360 Manufacturing Execution System. Switching from the original two-stage process to the single stage process not only optimised the quality of the recycled materials, but also significantly reduced consumption of energy and resources. Even in the production of complicated recipes, the use of the COREMA cascade extrusion system in combination with the recycled resource process saves considerable greenhouse gas emissions compared to the use of virgin pellets from crude oil. This is 54 percent on average in the case of the recompound procyclen, as confirmed by a recent study by Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety, and Energy Technology (source: Interseroh). "With this innovative technology, we have reached a new stage of development in plastics recycling. This enables us to fulfil customer wishes even more precisely and in a much more sustainable manner," says Manica Ulcnik-Krump, Head of the Recycled Resource Business Unit at Interseroh Dienstleistungs GmbH.
