ALPLA switched its PET Recycling Team plants in Wöllersdorf, Austria, and Radomsko, Poland to a mix of electricity from renewable sources in order to produce its carbon-neutral rPET.
“This step has already had a big impact on the carbon footprint of our food-grade regranulate – according to the calculations, emissions are cut by up to 90% compared with virgin material. The feedback from the market regarding this further development has been very good,” says Georg Lässer, head of recycling at ALPLA.
