sustainable world and economy

A perfect start makes a brilliant ending

First things first: you don’t have to change anything in your production process. Our technology can be fully integrated because it is specially developed for the plastic industry. Moreover, by applying Refresh Plastics & Textile Technology via a conventional colour masterbatch at the start, your new revenue models come into effect automatically and immediately.

Refresh Plastics & Textile Technology is based on physical and technical naturalness. A technology for reversible and repeatable coloring and decoloring of plastics and synthetic textiles. Excellent compatibility of components ensures uniform coloring.

Grinding

Grinding or shredding is the reduction of the plastic and synthetic textile parts. This step is essential to the whole process. Our shredding method ensures that all flakes have exactly the same geometric dimensions to optimise the kinetic laws and washing aspect.

Pre-decoloring

Contamination is the biggest threat in every recycling process. This includes labels and printing inks. Our washing and pre-decolourisation formulations are free of chemicals. This ensures a low-temperature process that is as effective, efficient and environmentally friendly as possible.

Final decoloring

Of course, you want your recycled plastic and synthetic textiles decolorised. Good news: with Refresh Plastics & Textiles Technology we decolorise plastics and synthetic textiles to 100% neutral, near-virgin and odourless certified rRecyclate within minutes in an efficient and effective in-house production application.

Extrusion

Our production processes are based on a single thermal treatment of the valuable raw polyolefin materials (PP, PE, HDPE, LDPE), PA6 and PET. In the production process, we can obtain certified rRecyclate or we produce a colour master batch to use again for new plastic and synthetic textile products.

Coloring technology

In order to re-color plastic and synthetic textiles to use again, we don’t use standard extrusion processes to produce a colour masterbatch, as the use of an extruder for the standard compounding process of a colour masterbatch has many disadvantages and side effects and degrades the polyolefin matrix.

Instead, we use our own developed and patented colour infusion technology. We also use proprietary and patented colourants that have been developed specifically for our technology and production processes. This way, we are always quantitatively competitive.

Colour masterbatch

The product? 100% plastic and textile waste turned into 100% technology. The final colour masterbatch contains all technical components and technologies to repeat the decoloring process.

Our performance in terms of colour brilliance is unique. Our technology involves no flow lines or other negative effects of a standard and conventional colour masterbatch.
