RECOSYS® - RESIDUAL PET becomes rPET

💚 RECOSYS® - Step into the Future of #circulareconomy💚

Introducing RECOSYS®, our innovative leap forward in recycling PET transfer materials, proudly brought to you by KURZ—the pioneers of this groundbreaking system in the plastics industry.

Taking a bold stride, we launched RECOSYS® alongside our post-industrial compound, RECOPOUND®. This remarkable recycled granulate not only slashes CO2 emissions by up to 40% compared to new materials, but it's also perfect for crafting robust, long-lasting plastic products with stunning decoration options.
Thanks to our streamlined processes, RECOSYS® is reclaiming even more KURZ products and unlocking new potential for recycled materials.

Transforming PET to rPET

With RECOSYS®, we're now able to turn production waste into recycled PET (rPET) for the first time. This valuable rPET raw material finds its way into countless everyday products. By advancing rPET production, we’re taking a significant step towards a true circular economy.

Our advanced PET carriers expertly apply wafer-thin layers of varnish to your product's surface. Once the renowned KURZ finish is complete, the PET carrier is seamlessly removed and recycled using our cutting-edge RECOSYS® system. This process creates high-quality rPET, perfect for a wide range of applications, including technical textiles.

By participating in RECOSYS®, our customers receive a prestigious recycling certificate, verified by the esteemed environmental experts at Intechnica Cert GmbH. This certificate not only underscores the transparency and traceability of the process but also provides insightful data on annual CO2 savings. Impressively, RECOSYS® can help reduce scope 3 emissions—greenhouse gases across an entire value chain—by up to 90%. This is accomplished through smart practices like avoiding the incineration of carrier materials, lowering product carbon footprints (PCF), and conserving resources by eliminating the need for primary raw materials in PET extraction.
