For bodycare and household products, there are even bottles made from 100% recycled material.
When it comes to bottles made from 100% recyclate there’s an old saying: Anything is possible. One example: Hamburger Wertstoff Innovative has developed the first detergent bottle made of 100 % Hamburg recyclate from the yellow bin. A second example: The shower gel bottles from Frosch Senses. They are made with 100% recycled HDPE and were the first made from this material to be used for cosmetics.
We have thoroughly tested two methods for using PCR in packaging, with a clear result. Our Managing Director Christian Müller states: “With the tests, we were able to show that it is possible to use recycled plastics for packaging sensitive products. With the right technology, there is no proven risk of migration from the recyclate to the filling material.”

proportion up to 70% recycled material is possible
We even take it one step further: You can use PCR materials without optical losses or impairment of the filler material – quite simply in the daily production process! This is ensured by our screen changer, which keeps impurities from the recycled material away from the extrusion head. This means that a proportion of 60–70% recycled material is no longer a problem. The best way to see for yourself is to take a look at our samples, which we will be happy to send you.
