Concepts for the reprocessing of Plastics
Smart plant concepts for enhanced sustainability: recyclates as the key
Homogenization and smart product handling – for clean and sustainable production
Plastic recycling plays a crucial role on the path to a sustainable future.
However, the share of recyclates in plastic production to date is only 15 %. One reason for this is that recycled material often has an unpleasant odor, limiting its use in high-quality products. In addition, storage, homogenization, and precise dosing of flakes or fluffy materials during recyclate production present significant challenges. Zeppelin Systems’ forward-looking solutions enable efficient, high-quality processing of recyclates—whether from post-consumer or post-industrial sources. We industrialize and scale your recycling processes, actively conserving valuable resources. Let’s work together to shape a greener future! We Create Solutions!
