At Plastics Recycling Show Europe (PRSE) 2026 in Amsterdam, EREMA highlights how recyclers can produce high-quality regranulate for demanding applications efficiently. This is becoming increasingly important as EU regulatory requirements, such as the PPWR, are drawing closer.
Across Europe, initiatives such as the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) are increasing the demand for recyclates that meet strict quality standards – from odour optimisation to reliable decontamination and consistent process stability.
Delivering this level of performance requires both innovative recycling technology and in-depth process and market understanding, as well as an optimally coordinated recycling process from input material to recycled pellet.
At PRSE, EREMA presents key developments that demonstrate how these requirements can be translated into reliable industrial processes.
Edvanced Recycling Facts:
Integration instead of single solutions: Material preparation, washing and extrusion must be designed as one coordinated process.
“Against the backdrop of upcoming PPWR requirements, many companies have so far only addressed the question of which products will fall under these regulations to a limited extent. These include not only food and cosmetic grade applications, but also other high-quality segments, particularly as minimum recyclate content requirements of at least 35 percent for non-contact-sensitive plastic packaging will come into force by 2030. At EREMA, we are prepared to provide the high degassing performance required for applications in the medium sensitive range in a highly cost-efficient way.”
Clemens Kitzberger, Business Development Manager at the EREMA Group
From technology to application
Recent developments in advanced degassing technologies, such as the further optimisation of EREMA’s VOLEX technology since its introduction at K 2025, show how high levels of decontamination and odour reduction can already be achieved directly within the extrusion process. This opens up new possibilities for demanding applications while also improving efficiency in industrial operations.
At the same time, the joint project with Lindner Washtech and Polymer Matters demonstrates that food-grade recycling of polyolefins is becoming a reality – even when processing input materials from mixed household waste streams. In the European Commission’s Novel Technology authorisation process, the project – which returns PCR from HDPE milk bottles to the same loop – has reached the next stage.
Complementing these developments, the consistent integration of all process steps – from material preparation and washing through to extrusion and data transparency – is proving to be a decisive factor in achieving high and stable regranulate quality at industrial scale.
Visitors to PRSE 2026 can explore how these achievements translate into reliable industrial solutions and see how Edvanced Recycling supports turning increasing regulatory and quality requirements into consistent, future-ready production processes.
