EPRO reveals award winners
Winners were announced during the IdentiPlast event in March for the biennial awards presented by the European Association of Plastics Recycling and Recovery Organisations (EPRO). The awards are aimed at recognising innovative and sustainable recycled plastic products. Orkla Home and Personal Care won the Sustainability category with the Jordan Green Clean Toothbrush. The toothbrush handle is made of post-consumer, food grade recycled plastic. The filaments are Nylon 1010 and 100% bio-based. Daniel Bondeson, Senior Product Developer, Orkla Home and Personal Care, said: “We hope that the recognition of this product will highlight the need for
better infrastructure and sorting of recyclates.” Alpla Werke won the Innovation
category with ‘The Simple One’: the monolayer HDPE bottle design does not need a a cap, is 60% lighter than a conventional HDPE bottle and is 100% recyclable. It can be used for refills or single use packaging and is particularly suited to single use. Presenting the award, Javier Constante,
