  K 2022: leading global trade fair of the plastics

  🥂Cheers to sustainability — ALPLA Group leads the way with innovative PET wine bottlesAlpla, the Austrian packaging specialist, is shaking up the wine industry with its new PET wine bottles, soon to be available in recycled PET (rPET) material. The unique bottles represent a major step towards sustainability and cost-effectiveness in the sector. 🔎 Here’s what makes them a notable development:➡️ Significant environmental and economic benefits:The current PET bottles reduce the CO2 footprint by up to 50% and cut costs by up to 30%. They are lighter, weighing only about one-eighth as much as traditional glass bottles and reduce CO2 consumption by 38% compared to glass alternatives.➡️ Future goals for greater impact:By 2025, Alpla plans to offer these bottles made from 100% rPET, expecting to further reduce the CO2 footprint by an additional 50%. This transition will source materials from Alpla’s own recycling facilities, reinforcing a sustainable production loop.➡️ Versatility and quality:Available in 0.75 liter and 1 liter sizes, the bottles meet all quality standards, come with conventional metal screw caps and are available in transparent or green variants, suitable for all wine types. They are currently being used by pilot customerWegensteinin Austria.Alpla’s initiative not only improves the environmental credentials of wine manufacturers but also offers a blueprint for other industries to follow. Will the wider wine trade adopt this eco-friendly option? Only time will tell. 👍#ktradefair #k2025 #innovationinplastics #plasticsandrubber #sustainableplastics

From humble beginnings producing metal blades for steam turbines to the development of cutting-edge technologies, Leistritz's company has consistently pushed the boundaries of engineering and innovation.Great to experience the success of our countless innovative exhibitors over the time of more than 70 years — keep innovating and see you again at K 2025! 🙌#ktradefair #throwbackthursday #backintime #innovationinplastics #historyinplasticsSources: Leistritz, K-Messe Archive

  🔎 Plastics in everyday life: Revolutionary shift in toy production! At the forefront of eco-innovation, major toy manufacturers are embracing recycled and biobased plastics to create sustainable toys. Highlights from this year's German Toy Fair in Nuremberg reveal exciting advancements, with companies like PLAYMOBIL and the LEGO Group leading the transformation. 💡Playmobil's "Wiltopia" series, made from about 80% recycled materials, is educating children about sustainability right through play. Meanwhile, LEGO is pushing the boundaries by testing over 300 sustainable materials, aiming to fully transition by 2032.Beyond production, initiatives like Hasbro's recycling program, which won the "Play For Change Award," show a commitment to preventing toy waste from ending up in landfills. 👉 However, the responsibility does not only lie with the toy manufacturers! As consumers, we also play a crucial role. Opting for sustainable purchasing decisions, participating in toy recycling programs, and supporting second-hand markets are all ways to contribute to a circular economy.#circulareconomy #recyclingInitiatives #plasticsindustry #ktradefair #everydaylifeplastics
