RePETitio project aims to recycle non-bottle PET in Austria


The RePETitio project started in Austria in June focusing on recycling of PET household waste other than PET bottles. The project was initiated by recycling machinery group NGR with partner groups in Austria. It receives funding support from the Upper Austrian government. PET household waste such as blister packaging, thermoformed trays and films will be collected and sorted into six material types by Lavu and Altstoff Recy- cling Austria.

be re-processed and decontaminated using NGR’s liquid state polycon-


densation process in Feldkirchen, where both rPET granulate and rPET sheets will be produced. During the LSP process, the rPET is decontaminated at


rPET to produce strapping with high mechanical strength requirements and Greiner Packaging will produce bottles and thermoformed trays for food and non-food applications. The products made of rPET will be compared with ones made of virgin PET. � www.ngr-world.com � www.lavu.at � www.ara.at � www.teufelberger.com
