Edelpa opens solvents recovery plant - Chile

Chilean flexible packaging company Edelpa has inaugurated a new solvents recovery plant, according to a report on Chilean association of plastics companies Asipla's website.
The plant uses the latest technology to capture and reuse up to 90% of solvents, which evaporate into the atmosphere as a result of the production process and natural causes.
The US$7mn initiative is part of the company's US$25mn master plan to modernize production processes through the incorporation of new technology.
"We have the technology and now we must foster the cultural changes necessary to become more efficient. Only by doing this will we pass from regional leaders to international leaders in packaging," Edelpa general manager, Oscar Jaime Lopez, was quoted as saying.
