Tray Revive- Recycling and Circular Economy
NGP MUSTAD has a clear strategy to recover food packaging and reuse it, bringing it back to life for use. NGP MUSTAD "Tray Revive" uses plastic trays so that they can be brought back to the loop again and again. NGP MUSTAD’s all-in-one place approach is matched by the company’s end-to-end sustainability drive to deliver safe, protective, fully recyclable food packaging to the market.
NGP MUSTAD's "Tray Revive" is part of a wider strategy that includes improving collaboration and cooperation among all of NGP MUSTAD stakeholders with the goal of improving and developing the right actions and infrastructure to a sustainable and recycling packaging that works. Once again, NGP MUSTAD demonstrates its commitment to innovations and closed loop initiatives that combine high performance with the necessity of environmental protection.
NGP MUSTAD has established a well-structured methodology for recycling PET containers into PET reels.The pivotal phase of decontamination, achieved through preheating and vacuum treatment in batch reactors, stands as a critical procedure for eliminating impurities and preparing the material for subsequent processing. Employing extrusion for decontamination, including both atmospheric and vacuum degassing, guarantees a meticulous cleansing of the flakes, culminating in the fabrication of superior-grade recycled PET reels.
The proactive action of disclosing operational parameters to the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) underscores NGP MUSTAD's commitment to transparency and strict adherence to regulatory frameworks. This dedication holds particular significance in contexts where recycled materials may find application in sensitive domains such as food packaging, necessitating stringent compliance with safety and quality standards.
Efficient recycling protocols, exemplified by NGP MUSTAD's process, not only contribute significantly to environmental preservation by curbing waste but also actively foster a circular economy by reintegrating materials into the production cycle. This approach marks a commendable stride in mitigating the environmental impact of PET containers while advocating responsible material utilization.
