Review of our arburgXvision programme 09/29/2022 "Using plastic to protect the climate as a way out of the environmental crisis" was the topic of the interactive Internet TV programme arburgXvision on 22nd September 2022. Gerhard Böhm, ARBURG Managing Director Sales and Service, Bertram Stern, Sustainability Manager at ARBURG, and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hans-Josef Endres, Managing Director of the Institute for Plastics and Recycling Technology (IKK) at Leibniz University, joined host Guido Marschall in the TV studio to discuss the apparent contrasts and prospects in plastics processing. Circular economy: the whole value chain in demand Around 1,250 viewers followed the programme live and made active use of the opportunity to ask the experts questions via chat. In the follow-up (as of 26 September 2022), a further 1300 interested people found out more about this exciting topic on the event website and in the social media channels. Three issues were of crucial importance for a successful circular economy in the expert discussion: Design for Recycling, high recyclate quality and the need for all parties involved in the manufacturing of plastic products to work closely together along the entire value chain. Application expert from Lossburg joins in A film from the ARBURG headquarters in Lossburg was a fitting accompaniment. Christian Homp, Group Manager Applications & Industries, presented projects and technologies such as R-Cycle or HolyGrail for innovative labelling and single-sort recycling of plastic products. He also invited customers to come to Lossburg or to the K trade fair to test the processing of alternative materials together and to discuss new solutions. Next programme on 24 November 2022 The next arburgXvision issue, on the topic of "digital services", is scheduled for 24 November 2022, and can be see live at www.arburgXvision.com from 2.00 p.m. This programme and all previous programmes are also accessible at any time in the media library. 媒体专用:请下载文本和图片 媒体资料

Trainees win VDMA award 06/09/2022 A six-strong ARBURG trainee team was presented with the VDMA "Carbon Busters" award at Hannover Messe on 30 May 2022. This award is given by the VDMA, Germany's Mechanical Engineering Industry Association, in recognition of young climate protection advocates. The trainees won over the jury with an idea for reducing the carbon footprint of coffee machines. Award-winning: Environmentally friendly concept The main criteria for the jury's decision were clearly formulated goals, a comprehensive elaboration of the project, and the drive through to implementation. "We are delighted that our concept for environmentally friendly coffee consumption was so well received by the VDMA and, above all, by ARBURG", said Tobias Helber, a first-year IT specialist, thanking the project team. Tobias and fellow trainees Denise Bohnet, Svenja Bross, Sonja Fritz, Mika Hauser, and Jannik Münstermann had invested around 250 hours in the concept and have since already realised some ideas at ARBURG's central location in Lossburg. Coffee machines: Disposable cups are being replaced In Lossburg, 24 table tops and 33 large coffee machines are in use, dispensing a total of 900,000 hot drinks in 2019 – 85 per cent of which in disposable plastic cups. The energy footprint drawn up by the project team showed that the production of a single disposable cup produces 14 grams of CO2, whereas a rinse cycle of ten cups only produces 11.8 grams of CO2. A survey showed that the vast majority is willing to switch to cups or a reusable solution. The team then put up posters to motivate all users to avoid using disposable cups when drinking coffee. For the table-top units, many employees now rely on porcelain cups. Concept can save up to ten tonnes of CO2 emissions per year Another idea is to connect the coffee machines to ARBURG's internal network via WLAN-enabled sockets so that they can simply be switched off at weekends and during company holidays. The trainees calculated the power consumption of the coffee machines in use, standby and during start-up. Result: If all 57 machines were switched off at weekends and during rest periods, this would add up to 6,058 days per year, which corresponds to 0.138 tonnes of CO2 savings per year. A larger goal yet to be implemented is to establish a new reusable system for the large coffee machines. The most CO2-friendly alternative turned out to be to produce suitable reusable cups on injection moulding machines directly at ARBURG and to equip the machines with these. Used cups could be returned to a collection point and then also cleaned on site at ARBURG in a separate washing-up area. If all the measures are implemented, this would reduce CO2 emissions by around ten tonnes a year in the future. 媒体专用:请下载文本和图片 媒体资料

arburgXvision: Plastics and recycling 05/25/2022 Exciting, informative, and a little surprising: that's how episode 12 of arburgXvision can be described in a nutshell. During the programme on 19 May 2022, Peter Barlog, Managing Partner of Barlog Plastics GmbH, Gerhard Böhm, ARBURG Managing Director Sales and Service, and Dr.-Ing. Philipp Kloke, Application and Process Development at ARBURG discussed the topic of "Plastic as an innovation driver – new materials and what they bring!". Successful programme On social media more than 1,000 viewers followed the live broadcast, which could be accessed in the media library shortly after it was aired. In the follow-up (as of 23 May 2022), around 1,600 interested people took the opportunity to watch the programme on catch-up on the event website or on ARBURG's various social media channels. The figures together with the fascinating questions from the audience show that this arburgXvision broadcast was once again about a hot topic of concern in the world of plastics. New materials, recyclates and energy It is indisputable that a world without plastics is no longer conceivable. However, and all experts agreed on this, there is still a lot to be done in order to use plastics more sensibly and economically in the future. And so the speakers came to the topic that is gaining more and more importance and that, in their opinion, has now reached the political, social and industrial spheres. In this context, there was also a lot of talk about recycling, sustainability and energy issues. Application example from Lossburg Manuel Wöhrle, Team Manager Industries, gave a striking explanation of how new processes can be used to produce in an economical and sustainable manner when he visited the ARBURG headquarters in Lossburg. He presented the FDC (fibre direct compounding) process, in which fibres are individually cut to size and fed directly into the melt. As he explained, this not only reduces CO2 emissions and logistics costs, but also makes the components up to 30% lighter and, depending on the application, can save 40 to 60% in material costs.
