Right: Recosys 2.0 from Kurz is a take-back and recycling system for PET transfer materials
portfolio with products that reduce the use of materials and minimise environmental impact.” It will also present its
Recosys 2.0 recycling system, to recycle carrier materials. The technology enables optimum processing and reuse of PET carrier materi- als. Now, in addition to cold transfer, hot stamping PET transfer carriers can now be taken back and recycled. With Recosys 2.0, Kurz says it is the first company in the graphics industry to introduce a take-back and recycling system for PET transfer materials. It relies on its logistics partner Gebrüder Weiss for return of the carrier materials. Gebrüder already delivers transfer products to customers across Europe – and is now responsible for collecting the used carriers. The take-back system is currently limited to 1,000km around Kurz headquarters in Fürth, Germany – but the aim is to roll out the take-back system worldwide.
In addition, Kurz has announced a partnership with Grafotronic – an expert in modular label convert- ing equipment – which builds on a series of earlier collabo- rations. The partnership will combine Grafotronic’s manufacturing capabilities in modular label equipment with Kurz’s knowledge in digital embellishment – with a view to enhance label printing and finishing.
