Bandera is one of the most important international players in the design and manufacturing of complete lines for the extrusion of both blown films and rigid films/sheet based on flat die technology. It is now moving forward in the recycling sector, with many innovative ideas.
Bandera’s mission is “Extruding Future Plastics Now”, as it specialises in the supply of extrusion technology to the plastics industry, continually oriented towards a circular economy. Regulations governing foodgrade packaging films are very stringent and require high-technology processes and materials. Thanks to the adoption of PURe, the Bandera-specific system for the purification of recycled materials used in the extrusion process, the multilayer and super-clean rPET sheets can be considered the simplest and safest choice for the production of food-grade packaging films, in compliance with FDA and EFSA directives.
Bandera adopted the mantra “We Look Ahead” in 2018 when, with the “Packaging Forward” campaign, it acquired a preeminent role as a major extrusion maker in the packaging sector. In fact, all companies globally involved in the treatment of raw materials must commit themselves to searching for sustainable solutions.
Bandera has been committed to this since the 1980s. In fact, it made a huge step forward in its extrusion technology, permitting the use of increasing percentages of recycled materials in the extrusion process addressed to the production of food-grade packaging products.
This was achieved through the design, manufacturing and testing of a newly conceived co-rotating twin-screw extruder, with continuous innovation in the subsequent decades.
Now, Bandera can boast it has achieved the use of 100% recycled materials in the extrusion process, up to obtaining a fully recycled and recyclable final product. This was done in compliance with FDA and EFSA directives and in full respect of the environment and, thereby, Bandera has gained its full right to adopt the mantra Packaging Forward.
