Tectan\u00ae<\/h2>\n\n

The specially developed process enables raw materials to be processed from used beverage cartons to produce the material Tectan\u00ae. For granulate recovery, the paper and cardboard scraps are cut up and dried. Depending on the intended use, these are supplemented with existing polyethylene. Tectan\u00ae is used by injection molding in sleeve plugs and edge protectors, among other things. The use of paper fibers as secondary materials also enables fossil fuels to be saved. Another advantage: 100% recyclable and can thus be returned to the recycling loop without any problems. <\/p>\n\n
