Growing demand
Rondo Plast purchases production scrap and by-products of PP and PE from Modulpac’s manufacturing of caps, jars, and lids. Both PP and PE are major polymers in Rondo Plast’s production and are in high demand among customers.
“We have seen increasing demand for recycled plastic materials over the past ten years. The demand primarily concerns PP, but also engineering plastics such as PC, ABS, PA6 and PA66,” says Patrik Lindqvist, Category Manager Recycled Materials at Rondo Plast.
Knowledge exchange enhances material quality
From the start, the collaboration between Modulpac and Rondo Plast has been characterized by close contact, open dialogue, and mutual knowledge exchange.
“Everyone wants to minimize waste, no one is uninterested in optimizing material use. What we do is familiarize ourselves with the supplier’s process, explain our own, and then support our suppliers – in this case Modulpac – in managing their scrap so that the leftover material that is generated can be sold to us instead of being incinerated, thereby creating economic value,” says Patrik Lindqvist.
