The idea behind the circular economy is ensuring that plastic products no longer end up in the environment. The aim is to globally create the conditions needed for collecting and processing plastic waste and using it to manufacture new products. “Plastics are valuable raw materials,” as Günther Klammer, Vice President Recycling at ENGEL, headquartered in Schwertberg, emphasises, going on to underline the contribution the injection moulding machine manufacturer makes to the circular economy. “We develop technologies that enable recycled materials to be processed for an increasingly wide range of applications and increasingly high-quality products.”
