Abstract: Artificial turf has a base layer, a multiplicity of blades fixed in and projecting upward from the base layer, and a mass of damping material on the base layer and through which the blades project. Each of the blades is at least partially formed of a polyester of terephthalic acid made from waste. The polyester is polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), both from waste. The base layer is a flat primary layer, preferably a textile and preferably consists of plastic, a polyolefin and/or a polyester of terephthalic acid, preferably a polyester of terephthalic acid from waste.

Abstract: A multi-layer monofilament consisting of multiple layers that are extruded simultaneously in a single process step, having a first layer made from plastic A, a second layer, which is bonded directly to the first layer, made from plastic b, and a third layer, which is bonded directly to the second layer, made from plastic C, plastic B being a bonding agent between the two plastics A and C.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) packaging web, wherein PET material is extruded using a twin-screw extruder and wherein the extruder interior space is degassed during the extrusion. The molten plastic is outputted in a strip shape from a spinning head located after the twin-screw extruder. The plastic strip is then cooled and stretched.
