BOTTLE TO BOTTLE circular economy for plastic bottles

BOTTLE TO BOTTLE – circular economy for plastic bottles in Portugal

The problem Plastic excess: plastic is everywhere Plastic bottles are not reused Low recycling rate Excess of plastic for plastic waste in the oceans packaging Environmental impact Ecoibéria - Reciclados Ibéricos S. A. 2

The solution Increase plastic recycling Closed cycle that ensures the sustainability of plastic bottles Preparation of high quality recycled PET for incorporation into new food packaging Ecoibéria - Reciclados Ibéricos S. A. 3

The solution Channel recycled plastic to beverage producers (for the production of new bottles) Implement technology for decontamination of recycled material; Ensure the highest standards of quality and safety in the B 2 B material; Ecoibéria - Reciclados Ibéricos S. A. 4

§ The project entitled “Bottle to bottle: circular economy for plastic bottles in Portugal” has the main objective of increasing the recycling of plastic bottles, through innovative solutions in this sector and modern equipment and technologies that will allow the reintroduction of a raw material top quality (recycled PET flakes), for the production of new plastic bottles. project summary Ecoibéria - Reciclados Ibéricos S. A. 5

The project is based on two complementary approaches: on the one hand, it is intended to provide Ecoiberia with a technologically advanced laboratory, so that PET flakes produced can be tested to detect potential elements that may impair quality and food safety standards. Thus, the end result will be a Top Quality raw material, which will be used in the production of new plastic bottles (circular economy), reducing the percentage of plastic whose recycling ends in downcyling.

Product On the other hand, through this project, a technology for separating flakes by laser will be introduced. This sorting technology will allow a much more effective, efficient and intelligent sorting of the recycled plastic, allowing the production of a more homogeneous product flow for later valorization for the. production of food packaging.

Located in the south of Portugal, they pump 900 m of depth the healthiest water in Portugal and one of the healthiest in the world: MONCHIQUE. This water is unique due to its physical and chemical properties, with a p. H of 9. 5. The company owns the Chic brand, created to meet the requirements of exquisite products in different markets. It is the premium brand of the company, designed for moments of pure indulgence, being a bottle of exclusive and original design, where elegance and sophistication are combined to provide a new experience of drinking natural alkaline mineral water. Sociedade das Águas de Monchique The company will have a key participation in the project, materializing the defined strategy, as the top quality recycled PET will be incorporated in the production of plastic bottles from the Sociedade da Água de Monchique, demonstrating the viability and industrial scale up of the raw material produced.
