What is Tectan®?
The way out of the increasing shortage of raw materials is the recycling of already processed raw materials. The Entwicklungsgesellschaft für Verbundmaterial Diez (EVD) has succeeded in developing the patented material Tectan® from plastic-coated paper waste. Since 1990, we have been producing products using the pressing process and since 1997 using the injection moulding process.

About  Entwicklungsgesellschaft für Verbundmaterial Diez (EVD)

The EVD mbh was founded in 1990 by the Tetra Pak Group to produce secondary products from coated cardboard waste. The resulting material, Tectan®, is used for the production of sleeve plugs and edge protectors, which play an important role in transport security. Modern high-performance machines ensure a high level of process reliability. The resulting quality is reflected in the satisfaction of our steadily growing customer base.

With the support of funds from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, we are investing in a new injection moulding machine to increase energy and resource efficiency. The objective is to achieve an increase of at least 20% in energy efficiency and to save at least 40 tonnes of CO2 compared to the old plant technology.
