Elementary school class visits EPROPLAST<\/strong><\/p>

At EPROPLAST, production, testing, and packaging takes place every day\u2014but this time, we had some very special visitors: a third-grade class from the region was given a behind-the-scenes look at our company and got to see how small plastic pellets are turned into finished PET bottles.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

At the beginning, our employees explained the manufacturing process to the children step by step:<\/p>

  1. Starting point: plastic granulate<\/strong> \u2013 small granules from which everything is made<\/li>
  2. The preform:<\/strong> the \u201cbottle blank,\u201d which looks a bit like a test tube.<\/li>
  3. The finished PET bottle:<\/strong> the final shape is created in a matter of seconds during the blow molding process.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    PET or glass \u2013 which is better?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t

    The direct comparison between PET and glass was particularly exciting:
    Which is lighter? Which breaks more easily? What are the advantages?
    The children found the answers themselves \u2013 with great amazement and enthusiasm.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    After the theory, it was time for some hands-on experience:
    the class toured our production lines and quality assurance department, and marveled at the wide range of color samples<\/strong> our customers can choose from. Our large warehouses<\/strong> also caused quite a stir\u2014it's not every day you see so many bottles in one place!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    The visit was not only a real highlight for the children\u2014our team also greatly enjoyed combining young curiosity with technology. Perhaps this day even laid the foundation for future plastics technologists or industrial mechanics.<\/p>
