The Italian plastics and rubber processing machinery and moulds manufacturers association (Amaplast) has launched a video to highlight how Italian companies have always been at the technological forefront of the world with their essential contribution to the production of functional and safe artifacts – with processes that optimise the use of raw materials and energy, as well as their mechanical recycling at the end of life.

Amaplast releases recycling potential video
The Italian companies took immediate action to make available all their reliable technologies for the production of all protections and medical devices that have proven to be vital in the management of the Coronavirus pandemic.
This video aims to highlight how useful plastic is in daily life, as well as the essential contribution it offers in the field of food storage, hygiene and personal care.
Also a sustainable solution, plastic, compared to other materials, requires less energy for its transformation. Through the collaboration of all industry players and stakeholders, it is easily recyclable and reusable.
A recent Amaplast press statement read: ‘Only the full awareness of the characteristics of plastic products and their correct disposal methods means that there is no waste of resources; on the contrary, recycled materials already fall as much as possible into the value chain, and help to realise the full transition to an industrial system based on the principles of the circular economy.’
The video is available to download for free.
