Together with a network of partners, including the Naturschutzbund Deutschland (Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union Germany, NABU), Frosch has harnessed a new type of sorting technology which sorts the recyclate by color and separates out any invisible contaminants, for instance entrapped foreign matter. Using this process, a high-quality PET recyclate is obtained from the recyclable materials collected by the yellow sack scheme. This can be used for the manufacture of new Frosch bottles, ensuring appropriate and environmentally friendly recycling. Further information the Frosch Recyclate Initiative can be found » here.
