After a year's break, EREMA is going to participate in CHINAPLAS 2021. Due to COVID-19, the machine manufacturer will not have a recycling machine on display this time, however, it will still be able to present the entire portfolio of services for PET recycling, post-consumer recycling and recycling of production waste.

Visitors to the trade fair stand will be looked after by the team from EREMA's Shanghai subsidiary. Customers and those interested in the products and services will be able to talk to people at the company's headquarters in Austria in hybrid meetings using video conferencing. This makes it possible for the company to offer customer-specific consultation.

EREMA is specialized in the development and production of plastics recycling systems and technologies for the plastics processing industry.

China is an important market for EREMA where the company has gained increase in both orders and turnover. Now that China has had the COVID-19 situation well under control for several months, teams of technicians who travelled from Austria were able to visit customers across the country for several weeks before the end of 2020 to start up several recycling machines. In March, a team set off again and will begin commissioning several more machines.

Meeting global demand for recycling solutions

EREMA recorded strong demand worldwide for recycling solutions for PET waste. With its proven VACUREMA technology, the machine manufacturer offers a wide range of processing options for applications involving direct food contact, such as the inline processes PET to sheet, PET to fiber, PET to strapping and PET to preform.

Growing interest is also noticeable in the post-consumer segment. In Europe, the use of post-consumer recyclate has become a major topic in the plastics industry due to legal recycling regulations imposed by the European Union.

The VACUREMA basic.

By providing the technology, EREMA plays a role in making recyclate suitable for high-quality applications in the cosmetics and food industries, which in turn opens up new sales markets. The US FDA confirmed in August 2019 that the recycling process based on an INTAREMA TVEplus RegrindPro machine plus ReFresher module is suitable for the production of milk and juice bottles, as well as meat trays, disposable tableware and cutlery, provided the input material comes from milk and juice bottles.

In November 2020, the FDA confirmed an additional input stream and more application uses for the recyclate treated using this process. In addition to all HDPE beverage containers, HDPE closures of HDPE, PP and PET beverage bottles can also be processed. Material containing up to 100 percent recyclate can be used in the production of containers for direct contact with food of all kinds.

Because China supports companies looking to implement recycling solutions for production waste, EREMA also expects growth in this segment in the future.

In order to meet the increasing demand for its recycling technologies in China and worldwide, EREMA has doubled the area of its production site, by building a new production hall, and built additional warehouses and office buildings. It has also expanded the EREMA customer center, where tests are carried out on a range of recycling machines using customers' input material. 

EREMA's Shanghai subsidiary will also join the CHINAPLAS and CPRJ Plastics Recycling and Circular Economy Conference and Showcase 2021 taking place on 12 April, with a presentation on the topic of “Plastic recycling technology made by EREMA: up to 100% recycled material - from post-consumer waste to high-quality product”.
