For over a decade TECNO GI PLAST has been applying a virtuous cycle of recovery of waste deriving from the production of extruded materials and TALYN® more specifically, thus giving life to a circular economy project that pays great attention to protecting the environment, limiting both production of waste destined for disposal and the use of virgin raw materials.
During the production of TALYN® the material is trimmed sideways to ensure a homogeneous product in weight and thickness. The trimmings, which were once disposed of as waste, can now be sent for a recycling process together with any production scraps.
The residue of the cutting operations (skeleton) represents about 6-12% of the initial weight depending on the skill of the worker. With the involvement of end customers and retailers, processing residues can be collected and destined for the recovery process in a circular economy perspective.
Trimmings, skeletons and production scraps are volumetrically reduced into fragments (grind) with a specific grinding mill.
Thanks to a careful research and development, the conditions have been identified to bring the grind to a subsequent transformation process.
The grind is then processed in a particular extruder designed with an exclusive technology and subsequently transformed into threads. The threads are cooled and subsequently a special cutter will transform them into granules.
The granules obtained from the recycled materials are mixed with the granules of the virgin polymers and reintroduced back into the production cycle with an evident environmental benefit.
