Report: RECIPE - Reduced Energy Consumption in Plastics Engineering

Website: www.eurecipe.com

RECIPE is a EU funded project, supported by the Intelligent Energy Europe programme (contract no. EIE/04/153/S07.38646).

The objective of RECIPE is to provide European plastics processors with the knowledge, justification and tools needed to reduce energy consumption through the implementation of best practice and the introduction of new technologies.

With rising energy costs, soaring raw material prices and the impacts of climate change the need to monitor and reduce energy consumption is more important than ever before in the plastics processing industry. As with most industries, controlling costs is critical to sustainability and profitability. However, energy costs can be controlled, and often reduced, by implementing measures that do not require significant investment. Energy efficiency offers short- and long-term benefits and by increasing the efficiency of a business the bottom line can be strengthened.

The RECIPE project has designed materials to provide the plastics processing industry with the information and tools necessary to make energy wise decisions. Factsheets, benchmarking tools, case studies and best practice guides are available.

The RECIPE project consists of 8 partner organisations:
