QUALITY
Working with Atus, you can be sure of the quality and reproducibility we will offer for every order. Why are we so confident? Because we are there at every stage of production, from the collection of material, through processing and storage to packaging. All of the production processes take place in our plants and are controlled by our team, and have been so for 20 years.
What is the reason behind the unrivalled quality of Atus recycling?
1 Full raw material control
We have our own supply chain, and our products are made only from high-quality recycled HDPE.
2 Careful material selection
Our raw materials are sorted using advanced optical machinery. Before the waste shredding stage, we remove all impurities and undesirable plastics to produce a high-quality material suitable for a wide range of production processes.
3 We constantly monitor our process
We have our own R&D department to conduct thorough quality tests, select optimum fraction parameters and remain flexible in our operations. This way, we can keep improving our processes to make products that meet the expectations of even the most demanding customers.
4 Quality by design
Every manufactured batch of material is comprehensively tested by our employees at various stages of the production process. This ensures that the product we supply always conforms to the specifications.
Laboratory and mixing
Our own laboratory and professional R&D
In Atus, innovation and responsibility take the form of specific actions, not just empty words. Our R&D team is working daily to improve the quality of our products, enhance our processes, and find solutions that will help us create materials that are more resistant, environmentally friendly and useful for society.
We perform the following quality tests:
• Determination of mechanical properties
• Determination of puncture resistance
• Measurement of the melt flow index
• Oxidation induction time (OIT) testing
• Density measurement using the immersion method
• Determination of the grammage
• Determination of the carbon black content
• Joint strength testing
• Water leak tests
