This waste is generated during processes like coloring, starting of machines or process optimization. However, if such production remnants are properly separated and sorted, almost 100% of them can be recycled or reused.<\/p><p>A regulated and environmentally conscious disposal of waste we have practiced for decades. At that time, the remnants were ground up and could be returned to the natural general plastic recycling process. In the meantime, we've optimized various internal processes in order to use the waste more efficiently. Now the caps are collected in large octabins and are regularly picked up by a recycling company. They  grind and regranulate them with RUBA standard black masterbatch, which we supply. This process results in a high-quality regranulate that is returned to us.<\/p><p>This is how <strong>in-house<\/strong> <strong>PIR - Post Industrial Recycled<\/strong> Granules is produced.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5612332 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5612332\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[],&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b8217f0\" data-id=\"b8217f0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf8f261 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cf8f261\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The quality of our PIR was one of the major challenges.
