viscoZERO
Revolutionizing the world of recycling
viscoZERO
Decontaminate high viscosity materials fast and efficiently with the new melt phase decontamination reactor.
Designed to produce recycled food grade resins from polyolefins and polystyrene or food grade, iV-increased recycled PET. Available as turn-key solution or as upgrade for your existing recycling extruder.
ZERO contamination
Post-consumer recycled materials safe for direct food contact. Thanks to efficient decontamination and homogenisation of the material.
ZERO waste
Zero waste achieved through 100% recycling rate. viscoZERO recycles different types of high viscosity input materials.
ZERO odour
Efficient removal of high and low volatile odours. Results in pure and odour-less recyclate for demanding applications and packaging solutions.
