How you can cut C02 emissions and production costs with fiber-to-fiber recycling using the VacuFil Visco+
Wednesday, May 19, 2021 2 – 2:45 p.m. CET
While the recycling world is focusing on bottle flakes, which are limited in terms of volume, the potential of another resource remains extensively unexploited. The recycling of residual fibers and fabric remnants into high-quality POY/FDY not only cuts C02 emissions, it also reduces production costs. With its VacuFil Visco+, Oerlikon Barmag’s subsidiary BBE offers the requisite technology for cleaning and utilizing PET waste. Within the context of his webinar, Matthias Schmitz, Head of Recycling Technology Engineering, presents fiber-to-fiber technology and applications.
