Energy efficient Recycling

Fluff-to-Film Technology

  • Recycling without regranulation
    Direct further processing of waste films
  • Proven energy saving
    by removing a whole process step
  • Possible for previously difficult to recycle films
    like adhesive coated film solutions
  • Double award winning product
    the Fluff-to-Film garbage bag

Modern Recycling has a name –
Fluff-to-Film

Fluff-to-Film is key to improved recycling rates and efficiency. By using this new technology, the energy intensive process of regranulation is completely eliminated along with the elimination of the need for additional heating, which saves energy and process related CO2 emissions. In addition, Fluff-to-Film makes it possible, for the first time, to give a second life as another film to even adhesive-coated used films.

How it works

From the used film directly to the new film

Until now, the used films were first shredded, then regranulated, (i.e. melted down and cooled again) before they were processed into new films. With fluff to film technology, this step is completely eliminated. Instead, the waste material is shredded and fed directly back into the extrusion process. Everything is done inline, using modern equipment and our knowledge of recycling technology and regranulate processing, thereby saving time and increasing efficiency in this energy intensive process.

New possibilities for recyclate sources

Now possible with more challenging film types such agricultural stretch and protective films.

With Fluff-to-Film, we are able to process even used films that previously could not be recycled at all or only under very limited conditions, such as adhesive-coated films. Thanks to Fluff-to-Film, these can now be returned to a film application such as the double award Fluff-to-Film garbage bag.

EXTREMELY DURABLE. INNOVATIVELY PRODUCED.

The Fluff-to-Film garbage bag takes the product category to a new level. It is up to three times stronger than the market standard, consists of up to 95 percent PCR and requires up to 40 percent less energy in the production process.
