New recyclable oil and lubricant pouch containing 35% recycled plastic

TotalEnergies and Windmöller & Hölscher have once again joined forces to develop an innovative packaging solution for oil and lubricant applications, fully embracing a circular approach. The newly developed pouch features a recyclable PE/PA multi-layer structure made of Polyethylene from TotalEnergies’ Lumicene® and Lumicene Supertough® ranges. In addition, it incorporates 35% recycled polymer, thanks to the use of TotalEnergies rPE 2206, a mechanically recycled post-consumer grade.

At K 2025, ENGEL showcases a high-performance production machine

At K 2025, ENGEL demonstrates how precision, performance and circular economy go hand in hand with a fully integrated production cell for thin-wall yoghurt cups made of PET. These cups are produced on behalf of a global brand owner with a strong focus on sustainability. Containing 30% food-grade rPET from bottle recycling, they already meet the 2030 targets of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and are fully recyclable. At the heart of the production cell is an all-electric ENGEL e-motion 420 injection moulding machine with 4200 kN clamping force, equipped with a stack mould from Plastisud. ENGEL achieves high-performance thin-wall injection moulding of PET using injection-compression moulding technology – all-electric, energy-efficient, material-saving and ready for full-scale production.
