3 PLASTIC IDENTIFICATION CODE

4 Resin Identification Coding System is a set of symbols placed on plastics to identify the polymer type.plasticspolymer It was developed by the Society of the Plastics Industry (SPI) in 1988.Society of the Plastics Industry Primary purpose of the codes is to allow efficient separation of different polymer types for recycling. polymerrecycling The symbols used in the code consist of arrows that cycle clockwise to form a rounded triangle and enclosing a number, often with an acronym representing the plastic below the triangle. When the number is omitted, the symbol is known as the universal Recycling Symbol, indicating generic recyclable materials. In this case, other text and labels are used to indicate the material(s) used. Recycling Symbol The number not indicate how hard the item is to recycle, nor how often the plastic was recycled. It is an arbitrary number and has no other meaning aside from identifying the specific plastic. Resin Identification Code Coding System Source: Wikipedia SPI (Society of Plastic Industry),

7 PET BOTTLE & POLYESTER Most synthetic fibers (approximately 70%) are made from polyester, and the polyester most often used in textiles is polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The majority of the world’s PET production – about 60% – is used to make fibers for textiles; about 30% is used to make bottles. It’s estimated that it takes about 104 million barrels of oil for PET production each year – that’s 70 million barrels just to produce the virgin polyester used in fabrics. The reason recycled polyester (often written rPET) is considered a green option in textiles today is twofold, and the argument goes like this: – Saving energy (33% to 53% less energy than produce from virgin) – Estimate at 54.6% fewer CO2 emissions – Keeping bottles and other plastics out of the landfills.

8 Fun Facts About PET First PET bottle was recycled in 1977 FACTS about PET: – Recycling 1 ton of PET bottles saves 7.4 cubic yards of landfill space – It takes 5 recycled two-liter PET bottles to make one square foot of carpet. – PET bottles and containers are actually a form of polyester, which is why it is so easy to recycle bottles into T-shirts, sweaters and socks. – It takes 35 two-liter recycled PET bottles to make the soft filling inside a sleeping bag, called “fiberfill.” – Plastic makes up 8% of our trash by weight, but is 24% of the volume Source: EASTMAN NAPCOR (National Association for PET Container Resources),

EREMA October Recycling means ….. What is required for “Bottle to Bottle”

Steps for BTB Baled Bottle Flake Collection/ Sorting GrindingWas hing VACUREMA BTB Pellet Flake Super Cleaning Process

Involved parties…. Collection company Recycler Preform producer Beverage Industry Government – Institutes…. Consumer

Target for the “BTB” Recycling No differences for the consumer – Performance of the bottle Colour, black spots, taste ….. No risk for the consumer and the industry No differences for the preform production Economic sense

Parameters for end product Physical parameters IV, AA, Colour, pellet, filtration,.... Normally not tasted/approved by the government Chemical Cleaness - Decontamination Normally done only with Challenge and Migration test Depends only on the cleaning effect of the system

Required from preform producer IV increase - depending on beverage – Normally yes because in the long term “closed loop” can`t work Melt filtration – Normally yes, because of black spots request, metal, glas, silicon issue.. Pellet – Normally yes, otherwise invest for prefrom producer requested

Request for Chemical Cleanness Absolute no risk for consumer – no taste change…. “Super cleaning process” has to show the decontamination by a Challenge Test The migration has to be inside the legislation
