Recycled raw materials
Professional reuse of raw materials
Closing the loop
Today, regranulate made from recycled plastic waste is a genuine alternative to virgin material – provided, of course, that the quality of the processing is up to standard. We have been processing high-quality plastic granules for over 55 years and are therefore well-equipped to assess the quality we achieve through recycling. That is why we have decided to pursue this path and offer regranulate of certified quality.
How pergaloop® benefits you
A material-efficient approach
Production waste is turned into new material.
During film production, process-related material is generated that is cut out of the production run. Years ago, we developed ways to recycle this waste and return it as regranulate to our own production process or to external customers.
Consistent quality
Sorting and recycling of plastic granulate from production waste.
Every year, we manufacture millions of plastic products, which naturally results in a considerable amount of waste. And of course, no one knows better than we do which raw materials and pellets – and of what quality – we used in production. This makes us ideally suited to produce single-grade, high-quality regranulate.
Individual design
We use most of the regranulate for our own production.
But we also supply it to others. Plastics sent for recycling are processed into plastic regranulate, which can also be customized to meet specific customer requirements. The properties of the regranulate can be optimized during this process – for example, to make products more robust or durable.
Available in the following
Versions
PCR is the abbreviation for post-consumer recyclate. This means that the material was obtained from the recycling of plastic packaging from household waste. The plastics are collected in the yellow bag or yellow garbage can, sorted and then recycled.
PIR means post-industry recyclate. These are materials that have accumulated in the industrial sector and are recycled. PIR is relatively easy to recycle because they are mostly single-grade and therefore do not need to be sorted.
Regranulation at Perga
Raw materials in the cycle
At Perga, production waste is processed into high-quality regranulate. This conserves raw materials and closes the material cycle – our practical contribution to the circular economy. The processing procedures comply with applicable legal requirements. Trained employees monitor these processes and ensure compliance with all guidelines.
