Energy-efficient Regranulation Facility Boosts Production Capacity

News

Rani Plast upgrades its regranulation facility in Bjölas with energy-efficient machines to boost capacity for recycled, high-quality raw material.

Construction and commissioning of the new Lindner and Erema machines will take place in 2022. The modern facility will be fully operational by the start of 2023.

Rani Plast adopts flexible processes during on-site film testing and has extensive recycling experience. Tests are performed to produce films with an optimal level of performance and in close cooperation with the company’s customers. Fuelled by experience, the company is committed to further develop its films containing recycled material.

“Our investment in the new facility, which is energy-efficient and optimises the entire regranulation process, reduces the company’s carbon footprint and boosts capacity by approximately 8,000-9,000 tonnes per year,” explains Sustainability and Development Director Mats Albäck.

Not only will the production facility be improved but also the processes around the handling and optimisation of recycled granules.

“The collaboration with exterior suppliers of recycled material to supplement our own granules is important. We have long-lasting partnerships with companies in Northern and Central Europe and have established stable relationships with our suppliers,” continues Mats.

Demand for packaging film with a high percentage of recycled material for products like cans, bottles, and even tissue is on the rise. The increased demand for films and packaging machines has enabled Rani Plast to test, develop and optimise the packaging films and has, ultimately, resulted in a reduced carbon footprint for all business partners.

An additional benefit of the modernised facility and its improved processes is that the company will be able to process production waste from its customers. And who knows what new opportunities for development the facility can provide in the future?
