Generating Sustainability Within the Plastics Industry and Logistics Packaging

Nov. 1, 2021
Experts discuss key considerations when applying circular economy principles in the plastics industry.

To demonstrate that plastics are truly sustainable, manufacturers must adopt circular economy best practices. Packaging used in logistics, for example, offers a unique opportunity to use recycled materials. To create pallets, bins, and crates from recycled plastics, processors need machinery optimized for post-consumer and post-industrial waste. Key cost drivers for injection molding include materials, cycle times, energy consumption, and scrap rates. When it comes to reducing cycle times, mold design also plays a crucial role.

KraussMaffei offers a range of injection molding equipment and mechanical recycling systems designed to support the circular economy in the plastics sector.
