In the future, all cans from regranulate!
Dirk Kopplow, the Managing Director of GVÖ, is excited: “This is a significant stride towards sustainability and environmental conservation. Our testing phase is almost finished, and we are now prepared for practical and experimental processing.”
Recycling oil containers is crucial for the environment and the economy. It helps conserve resources and reduce CO₂ emissions. With advancements in technology and recycling innovations, there are new opportunities to make oil can recycling more efficient and sustainable.
Three major advantages
Recycling oil cans offers several environmental and economic benefits.
Reduced resource consumption: Reusing materials from used oil packaging reduces the need for new resources, conserving natural resources and reducing the environmental footprint of the packaging industry.
Reduction of CO₂ emissions: Using materials from used oil packaging instead of new resources helps reduce CO₂ emissions generated in the production of packaging, contributing to international climate targets.
Cost savings: Reusing materials from used oil packaging leads to significant cost savings for manufacturers and consumers, promoting competitiveness and keeping prices stable. The mineral oil industry can also benefit from these advantages.
Ready for practice
“GVÖ is making significant progress towards its objective of establishing a closed loop recycling system and utilizing as much recycled material as feasible in the production of oil cans.
This is a significant stride towards sustainability and environmental conservation. Our testing phase is almost finished, and we are now prepared for practical and experimental processing.” says Dirk Kopplow. The process is an innovative approach to recycling oil containers, contributing significantly to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly economy. Interested parties can examine cans produced from regranulate at the UNITI Mineral Oil Technology Forum on 4-5 July 2023 to learn about the progress. The ultimate goal is to promote sustainable and environmentally conscious handling of raw materials in the industry and contribute to climate protection.
