FEIBP Innovation Award 2024: ECO-FILL Concept from Borghi

Have you ever imagined that you could produce a fully plastic brush with conventional technology?


With the now-known effects of industrial activities on global warming, the brush industry needs to change. Following the establishment of the first EU circular economy action plan in 2015, now is the time to develop new methods and materials to minimise the environmental impact of production and consumption.

The circular economy is a model whose aim is to extend the life cycle of products through sharing, leasing, repairing, refurbishing and recycling existing materials. In practice, it implies reducing waste to a minimum. When a product reaches the end of its life, its materials are kept within the economy wherever possible thanks to recycling.

Products composed of different materials are harder to separate and recycle. Enter the ECO-FILL Concept which uses a polymer anchor (rather than the traditional metal staple) to set tufts into a plastic block.

The ECO-FILL concept can, for example, be added to Borghi’s new STARGATE machine which was launched at WBE24 and is its first fully automatic vertical machine for brushes and brooms. STARGATE can be either used with metal staples or its cam head can be revised to accommodate the ECO-FILL concept, becoming a more versatile machine, giving the operator the opportunity to achieve fully plastic, fully recyclable brushes.
