Sustainability
Optimum PCR processing and maximum material savings
Especially as production solution provider, we have to ask ourselves how we can contribute to a sustainable handling of plastics. A well functioning recycling economy is the decisive way to achieve this sustainability.
We see ourselves as part of this cycle by linking between the raw material manufacturers and the processors and producing recyclable products.
Our target:
- 100 % sustainable use of raw materials
- Maximum material savings without sacrificing the final plastic product quality
R-Cycle
R-Cycle fulfills one of the most important prerequisites for the recycling of plastics as marking makes the packaging identifiable. The complete value chain can be traced right back to the raw materials used via a cloud-based database.
Our case study
One bottle, two approaches
Not comparing apples with oranges, but pointing out specific possibilities. We look at one bottle, but two production approaches.
Both bottles were produced in the ReCo3 process under the same conditions on a KBB60D. The sustainable bottle (green) consists of bio-based plastic and foamed PCR.

We explore the PCR production of tomorrow
Don’t talk about tomorrow – take action today! Based on this philosophy, PCR types from all manner of suppliers have been tested and evaluated at the Kautex Technology Center – not just on behalf of our customers, but for raw material suppliers too.
All benefit from our expertise on the various requirements, allowing us to implement future projects together. We are already working on PCR processing improvements and looking for partners to optimize this further.
Talk to us or learn more about our Technology Center.
Technology Center
From mold validation in one of our international technology laboratories via simulation and all the way to complete line-engineering, everything needed for your turnkey solution is available.
Energy efficiency
The outstanding efficiency of the all-electric extrusion blow molding machines is confirmed by the latest test based on the Euromap 46.1 standards. Several Kautex machines of the KBB series achieved the best energy efficiency classification 10.
Company
Our aim at Kautex, is to join our customers and partners in assuming a pioneering role in transition and the creation of added value with smart production solutions for extrusion blow molding.
