They are making a huge contribution towards conserving resources, reducing CO2 and sustaining the circular economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The winners each received a trophy designed and made by the Better Future Factory.<\/p>\n<p>The base is 3D printed from 100% recycled ABS plastic car dashboards and the multi-colour top is laser cut from compressed HDPE beach clean-up bottle caps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWillemijn Peeters, has put the full force of her personality and very considerable capabilities into establishing an initiative to prevent plastics from ending up in the environment, by helping businesses implement more sustainable ways of producing and distributing goods,\u201d said Ton Emans. \u201cShe has done this by herself, not as part of a larger organisation. That takes courage, conviction and commitment, which she has shown and which is why she was unanimously voted ambassador of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fellow judge Karen Laird, editor of Plastics News Europe said: \u201cBeaulex are an excellent example of how a good idea, clever design and recycled plastics can come together in a construction product that is perfectly suited for its purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Beaulex balls replace the use of old tyres for rainwater buffering systems under hardened surfaces and can easily be dug up and recycled again. They are clean and efficient in use.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe product is an innovative, sustainable solution for better rainwater management and an application for recycled plastics we had not seen before,\u201d Karen Laird added.<\/p>\n<p>The Grundig vacuum cleaner is a highly commendable initiative from Ar\u00e7elik A.\u015e., a household appliances manufacturer.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6863\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6863\" style=\"width: 491px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Grunding-VCC-Arcelik.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6863\" src=\"https:\/\/engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Grunding-VCC-Arcelik-491x1024.png\" alt=\"Plastics Recycling Awards Europe: first winners announced\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\" width=\"491\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Grunding-VCC-Arcelik-491x1024.png 491w, https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Grunding-VCC-Arcelik-144x300.png 144w, https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Grunding-VCC-Arcelik-768x1602.png 768w, https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Grunding-VCC-Arcelik-800x1668.png 800w, https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Grunding-VCC-Arcelik.png 1168w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 491px) 100vw, 491px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6863\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Recycled Plastic Consumer Lifestyle Product of the Year \u2013 Grundig vacuum cleaner made from WEEE recycled plastics, Ar\u00e7elik A.\u015e<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Used appliances collected from customers are delivered back to Ar\u00e7elik\u2018s two licensed Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) recycling facilities, where they are disassembled for sustainable recycling and eventually used in manufacturing of new products.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe wonderful thing about this vacuum cleaner is that it looks like any other: shiny and functional, having the same properties as any other product made out of virgin plastics,\u201d explained Ton Emans. \u201cThis ultimately is exactly how it should be: customers buy it because it cleans the house, not necessarily because they want to demonstrate how green they are by buying recycled.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Systalen PRIMUS HDPE is an example of high-quality bottle made from recycled HDPE material that looks as if it is made from virgin material.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis used only to be possible using PET,\u201d explained Karen Laird. \u201cThe recycled Systalen PRIMUS HDPE bottle has been used to package Emsal Parkett cleaning agent since 2016, and Emsal Vinyl since 2017. This is a winner because it is a real advance that has been successfully implemented.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It has long been impossible to recycle barrier packaging, because of the different layers used to create the necessary barrier. Mondi has developed a PE-based BarrierPack Recyclable sustainable flexible packaging material that is fully recyclable and still offering exceptional mechanical properties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an extremely important step forwards in the development of barrier packaging materials,\u201d said Karen Laird, \u201cwhich is why they won.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The distinguished panel of judges for the new awards included: Simona Bonaf\u00e8, member of the European Parliament, Cyrill Gutsch founder of campaigning organisation Parley for the Oceans, design strategist and co-founder of Form Us With Love, Jonas Pettersson, Richard C Thompson, Professor of Marine Biology at Plymouth University and marine debris specialist, Rune Thoralfsson, owner and director of Norfolier GreenTec, the largest film recycler in the Nordic region, Ton Emans President of Plastics Recyclers Europe and Director Group Recycling in CeDO and Karen Laird Editor of Plastics News Europe.<\/p>\n<p>The <span class=\"highlight highlight-blue\"><a href=\"https:\/\/engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/plastics-recycling-show-europe-erema-and-wipa-showcase-new-recycling-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Plastics Recycling Awards Europe<\/a><\/span> were presented at the Plastics Recycling Show Europe, the free-to-attend exhibition and a conference designed for plastics recycling professionals and organised by Crain Communications and Plastics Recyclers Europe (PRE).<\/p>\n<p>The event brings together key players from the plastics and recycling sectors to showcase innovative technology, share best practice, network and do business.
