When producing “Green Line” broom and brush bases by injection molding technique, we use recycled or reclaimed PP ( polypropylene) and PE (polyethylene).
These materials undergo careful inspection.
Environmentally sustainable second-generation materials are generated from the waste.
They are separated from any foreign matter, are washed and even the smallest impurities are removed; they are then ground so as to obtain granules ready for further processing.
Recycling and remanufacturing, however, are not the same thing.
These are two processes in which it is the energy used that makes the difference.
Recycling involves high energy expenditure, as the product is first destroyed and then reprocessed.
In contrast, remanufacturing does not involve the destruction of the material resulting in great energy savings.
It therefore represents the best solution for the health of the environment and to improve our company’s production processes.
The possibility of recovering plastics means that waste is no longer considered a waste, but rather a resource.
The new material generated is very close to the original first-grade material with a significantly smaller environmental impact, in terms of reduction of resources used and Co2 emissions.
