Therefore, we offer 2 main types of plastic containers, which enable us to always offer the best solution according to the customer’s desire: <\/p>\n Specifically, among the virgin plastics<\/strong> proposed, we have:<\/p>\n Regarding recycled plastic, we offer these different gradations depending on the material:<\/p>\n Of course, recycled plastic (PCR) has different characteristics than virgin plastic. Differences that are attributable, however, only to the aesthetic<\/strong> side and not to the performance<\/strong> side. <\/p>\n In particular, recycled plastic may have a different coloring<\/strong> than virgin plastic, but the properties remain the same: extreme strength, high strength, excellent insulation, light weight, durability and water resistance.<\/p>\n It should be pointed out that the differences between virgin and recycled plastic vary depending on the percentage of recycled plastic in the product.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”100% green PET plastic packaging” module_id=”100pet” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Testo” _builder_version=”4.16″ text_orientation=”justified” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n One of the alternatives proposed by Steba is 100% green PET plastic packaging<\/strong>, so the material used is 100% recycled<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Products made totally from recycled plastics tend to have a darker coloration<\/strong> than virgin plastics. In addition, 100% recycled plastics have imperfections at the surface level<\/strong> that are, however, barely noticeable to the touch. <\/p>\n Actually in a recycled plastic product, the aesthetic characteristics are not perfectly governable and predictable, especially in transparent plastic. All recycled transparent plastic containers will have not exactly the same color, one will be different from the other. In fact, the color and imperfections on the surface depend on the materials used during recycling<\/strong>, which can be green, blue, transparent, etc. <\/p>\n The result? Products that are all different in transparency and color, and this is what we call the“new green aesthetic<\/strong>.” <\/p>\n All-recycled plastic can be colored with dark shades, so the color alteration will be less noticeable.<\/p>\n Learn more about the aforementioned recycled “new aesthetic,” read our article “Recycled Plastic Packaging and Scenario”<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/stebaold.isoladev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pcr-100-trasparente-steba.jpg” alt=”pcr 100% transparent-steba” title_text=”pcr 100% transparent-steba” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.16″ animation_style=”zoom” animation_duration=”1400ms” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Packaging made of 50% recycled plastic PET and HDPE” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Testo” module_id=”50pethdpe” _builder_version=”4.16″ text_orientation=”justified” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Steba’s recycled plastic offering does not end there. In fact, it is also possible to choose 50% recycled PET<\/strong> or HDPE<\/strong> products. <\/p>\n Fifty percent is a “halfway” solution. On the one hand it confirms the commitment to a green economy and on the other it is a proposal that reconciles ecodesign with the needs of a demand side that is still approaching sustainable packaging. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Recycled plastic in containers 35% PET and HDPE” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Testo” module_id=”35pethdpe” _builder_version=”4.16″ text_orientation=”justified” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Containers made of 35% recycled plastic PET<\/strong> or HDPE<\/strong> are the more moderate alternative. In these products, the presence of recycled plastic is reduced, consequently the aesthetic result is more similar to a virgin product. <\/p>\n The color of plastic is “more governable” because it exhibits a very slight alteration. In fact, the change in coloration and transparency of plastic is reduced as the percentage of recycled plastic used decreases. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/stebaold.isoladev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pcr-35-trasparente-steba.jpg” alt=”pcr 35% transparent-steba” title_text=”pcr 35% transparent-steba” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.16″ animation_style=”zoom” animation_duration=”1400ms” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Testo” _builder_version=”4.16″ text_orientation=”justified” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n We recommend an interesting reference site: https:\/\/www.plasticpackagingfacts.org\/plastic-sustainability\/recycling\/<\/a> with important insights into ecological trends in the world of plastics.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Better recycled plastic or virgin plastic containers?” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ text_orientation=”justified” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n This is the question many people are asking: recycled or virgin plastic?

There is no absolute answer; it all depends on the customer and his or her particular needs. Steba accompanies the consumer in choosing the most suitable plastic container<\/strong>, offering both virgin and recycled plastic solutions. <\/p>\n
In addition to biopackaging proposals, attention to separate waste collection and environmental awareness are characteristics that should appeal to everyone: end users and all players involved in the plastic production and commercial process.<\/p>\n
