Germany-based Krones AG, and Austria's Erema Engineering Recycling Maschinen und Anlagen GmbH have agreed to collaborate in the field of PET plastic recycling, the two companies announced 22 Aug.
The two companies said they aimed to “incorporate” their technical expertise in the planning and design of PET recycling lines and complete factories, in order to offer clients from both the beverage and PET recycling industries an optimal line or an entire factory.
Erema and Krones said their combined corporate experience and product portfolios complemented each other, with Erema manufacturing plastic recycling systems and Krones manufacturing filling and packaging technology.
The collaborative arrangement will focus significantly on planning entire factories, which Krones said is already offering to beverage bottlers and PET recyclers from the feasibility study stage to finished factory.
