With the increasing concern over plastic waste and pollution, plastic bag manufacturers are looking for more sustainable production methods to diminish the negative effects of their plastic products. Co-extrusion and recycling are two techniques that are gaining popularity in the plastic film industry. In this blog, we will explore how co-extrusion and recycling can create a circular economy for plastic bag production and minimize waste.

Plastic waste recycling has long been a symbol of green sustainability. With the rapid advancement of recycling technologies, applications have become increasingly diverse and abundant. The World Economic Forum predicts that by 2030, the global circular economy will reach $4.5 trillion. Internationally, there are new applications emerging, such as environmentally friendly building materials made from PET bottle bricks and eyeglass materials made from discarded fishing nets. Coca-Cola Taiwan has also invested significant research and development efforts, spending seven years to develop products using 100% recycled plastic bottles, setting a new milestone in plastic recycling applications.

In this article, we delve into the "Spotlight" plan, a monthly showcase that highlights the exemplary efforts of Taiwanese suppliers in tailoring solutions to meet customer needs, fostering innovation, and driving the industry forward. Though the export data for Taiwan machinery decreases in 2023 due to the economic recession, the excellent suppliers must be seen. And that's why PRM, as a pioneer media in the Plastic and Rubber industry, devoted itself to promoting Taiwanese brands.

Norwegian rubber waste recycler Wastefront is set to open a $120 million plant in Sunderland, England, either late in 2024 or early 2025. The plant will utilize pyrolysis to convert end-of-life tires into tire-derived oil (TDO), which will then be refined into various combustion fuels, including diesel. Wastefront claims that the TDO produced will be cleaner than fossil diesel and cost-competitive, depending on the grade. It is expected to be cheaper than hydrotreated vegetable oil and similar biofuels.

The unique die head design of the ABA co-extrusion machines offers producers cost management flexibility by incorporating an middle layer of recycled material or calcium carbonate compound, effectively reducing raw material expenses. This not only maintains competitiveness in raw material prices but also aligns with environmental trends.
