Krones, Erema combine expertise in PET recycling

Krones AG, Neutraubling, Germany, and Erema Engineering Recycling Maschinen und Anlagen GmbH, Ansfelden, Austria, announced they would collaborate their expertise in PET plastic recycling, from planning and design of PET recycling lines and to complete factories. The aim is to offer the beverage and PET recycling industries an optimal line or an entire factory.

Their complementing corporate experience and product portfolios will ensure the success of the partnership. Erema is a leader in plastic recycling systems manufacture and is an expert in PET processing. Krones is a leading manufacturer and turnkey vendor of filling and packaging technology. Its product portfolio comprises not only machines and lines for filling and packaging beverages and liquid foods, but also machines for producing PET bottles, plus modules and lines for the recycling process.

Bottle-to-bottle-recycling – Recycling of PET to be reused as food-grade packaging materials is flourishing globally

Krones’ comprehensive product range, particularly the MetaPure W hot-wash technology developed specifically for PET and validated by performance in the field, combined with Erema’s Vacurema technology developed for PET, will enable the two companies in future to offer responsively customized job sections – for washing and/or decontamination technology all the way through to complete factories for PET plastics recycling, and handle them as a turnkey vendor.

This means that Krones’ clients will soon be able to close the entire PET cycle, from manufacture of the PET plastic products all the way through to their recovery, and thus make a sustainable contribution towards the “circular economy”, with concomitantly reduced resource consumption and environmental impact.
