Coperion GmbH is implementing a closed-loop concept for the production of flexible multi-layer film. According to the Stuttgart, Germany-based specialist in plastics and other recycling equipment and systems, recycling multi-layer film has long posed a challenge since such films can only be reclaimed in very complicated ways and not without residues.
Most recently, Coperion has developed a closed-loop approach solution in which up to 100 percent of multi-layer film production waste can be re-processed and fed back into the production process in a closed-loop.
On a current project Coperion will deliver a recycling system, including bulk material handling, high-accuracy feeding from Coperion K-Tron, and the heart of the system, a ZSK Mc twin screw extruder.
