🌍 Leading the Sustainable Transition in Extrusion with ZPE Technology🌍   Today, we're thrilled to unveil a groundbreaking advancement in extrusion technology – the Zero Pollution Energy (ZPE) system. This isn't just another product; it's a testament to years of dedicated research and robust field results. It redefines what it means to choose machinery not just for now, but for a sustainable future.   🏭 Engineering with Purpose 🏭 At Presezzi Extrusion our philosophy is simple yet profound: BUILD TO LAST. We don't just manufacture machines; we engineer legacies of enduring efficiency. By integrating the Z.P.E. system, we're not only meeting but exceeding stringent environmental standards, aligning with the most ambitious global climate goals.   🌿 In Sync with European Green Deal 🌿 The Z.P.E. technology is perfectly aligned with the European Union's energy policies, including the European Green Deal and the Fit for 55 package. These policies target a minimum 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and set a pathway for a climate-neutral Europe by 2050.   🔋 A Paradigm Shift🔋 Our Z.P.E. systems use advanced magnetic induction for heating, steering clear of fossil fuels and reducing carbon emissions significantly. This shift is not just about compliance—it’s about leading the change towards a more sustainable industrial future.   👥 Join Us on This Journey 👥 Are you ready to be part of this vital shift? With Z.P.E., embrace a solution that delivers unmatched efficiency and helps meet tomorrow’s environmental standards today.   #Sustainability #ZPETechnology #GreenManufacturing #BilletHeater #EuropeanGreenDeal #Innovation #ExtrusionTechnology #IndustrialEngineering

In recent years, I've had the privilege of exploring various processing techniques in the realm of plastic manufacturing, but none have captivated and challenged me quite like the spunbond process. My focus has been particularly on the Reifenhauser Group Reicofil Technology. This journey led me to delve into my master's thesis, dedicated to the recycling and reutilization of spunbond filaments. Early on, I envisioned closed-loop systems to minimize waste during production pauses. With the support of EREMA Engineering Recycling Maschinen und Anlagen Ges.m.b.H. we successfully produced a high-quality rPP, conducting trials on a Reifenhäuser Reicofil pilot plant at Sächsisches Textilforschungsinstitut e.V. (STFI) It's gratifying to witness the growing significance of quality, recycling materials, and alternative polymers in this field, fostered through engaging discussions with existing and new clients. After all, even the most stable spunbond process on the market requires high-quality input materials. At OCS Optical Control Systems GmbH we address these challenges with our qc-solutions.

Last week Greeniron H2 AB’s Jan Boberg, presented project HANS at the Metallic Materials conference in Stockholm.   HANS is a project that evaluates methods to recirculate residual products generated in foundry environments such as mill scale, filter dust and slag. The residuals represent approximately 5 % of material losses in foundries as well as steel plants. Finding methods to recycle those 5 % will have a great impact on resource efficiency and reduction of CO2-emissions.   GreenIron's process is key to this approach, where the goal is to generate results that enable the foundry industry to take further steps towards more sustainable manufacturing.    Read full article at https://lnkd.in/dfn6aGZi   #MoreCirularityLessMining #GreenIron #metalliskamaterial #strategiskainnovationsprogram #Vinnova #energimyndigheten #formas #janboberg #lindaahl #projekthans #rise #gjuteriföreningen #jernkontoret #GreenIndustry #WeBelieveInCollaboration #CTO #GreenEvolution #GreenIndustry #SustainableManufacturing #SwedishEnergyAgency #impactinnovation #innovation

No, you are not seeing double – we are twins. What caused some puzzled faces yesterday at the IKK Colloquium “Energieeffiziente Kunststoffverarbeitung” is actually a great transition into topics currently affecting the plastics industry. “Seeing double,” what does that have to do with plastics? Well, can you tell by looking at your plastic whether it has been used only once, reused twice, or maybe three times? Probably not, because when the granulate arrives, you usually only know if it is recycled by its label. Unlike bioplastics, which can be identified using the 14C method, there is no analytical procedure to determine if a plastic has been recycled or not. Essentially, you have to trust the “paper” stating it is recycled. These and other topics, such as identifying energy-saving potential in the plastics industry, were discussed yesterday at the IKK Colloquium. Thank you for the opportunity to participate and for the exciting tour of the IKK facilities and labs.
