Description

Rabugino offers technical components for the automotive and household appliances industries, and produces shopping trolleys. Under the project we intend to market environmentally friendly shopping trolleys labelled TWINST (in two versions: TWINST Basket and TWINST Bag). Based on our in-house technology, the basket in the TWINST Basket trolley will be produced with an innovative polymer mix made in at least 60% of plastic from the purification of sea/ocean waters, and the remaining part will come from consumer recycled material.

Along with the development of the above-mentioned polymer formula, works on the new technology will include the development of the product technology concept; the development and production of a prototype; strength, load and aging tests; and the development of technical documentation for the product. Moreover, Rabugino plant’s fire protection infrastructure will be expanded by constructing an underground fire-fighting tank of the volume of 306 m3, and production equipment will be purchased, i.e. a 1300T injection molding machine and a 3-axis Cartesian robot.

The implementation of the project will reduce CO2 emissions by 102.35 tons yearly.
