Krones AG has been awarded a contract order for the installation of a module that grinds bottles into flakes and also installation of a washing module for Mitteldeutsche Erfrischungsgetränke GmbH & Co. KG’s (MEG) new plant. MEG handles deposit-bearing, non-returnable bottles from Deutsche Pfandsystem GmbH (German deposit system) handed at Lidl and has been having these processed into regranulate at its own recycling plant and at various contract recycling companies. To increase regranulate quotas further, MEG is building another recycling plant near Aachen, Germany.
