"It is vital that, as the German market continues its shift from PP towards PET, we are able to meet growing customer demand for products which are lighter, cheaper and more sustainable.

"The installation of the new extruder in Ritterhude extends our capabilities greatly and being able to manufacture using 100% post-consumer recyclate is a major breakthrough for Linpac in north-west Europe.
