Nadine Oswald: I'm Nadine Oswald and I've been with Interzero for about a year and a half. I carry out tests on the granulates. I'm the QA here, the quality assurance, and I'm the supervisor of the forklift drivers.

What does a typical quality control of PET flakes look like?

Nadine Oswald: So we receive the granulate from the customer, i.e. the PET flakes then they are checked here for quality, incoming goods, then we take our tests here and when it is approved, it goes in to production. Then we analyse the granulate, it's the same again, we have to take our measurements, quality assurance, and then it's off to the customer. 

What is special about your work?

Nadine Oswald: You work with people every day, every day is different, because no matter how much you plan and what you do, it doesn't always work out that way. A lot happens where people work and here, also because of the lorries, and there's always something going on and that's fun. It's a lot of new things for me, all the things that can be recycled and all the things you can do. I wouldn't have thought what's possible before I started here, because I was completely new, a total beginner. But I'm happy because a lot has changed here and I'm looking forward to what's still to come.

What can you recommend to career changers?

Nadine Oswald: So I would recommend not to be so prejudiced, to take a look at it all, because I also worked on a trial basis at first. I also had doubts at first, but once you get into it, it's fun.

What is your favourite plastic?

Nadine Oswald: In terms of quality and appearance, or where the color simply looks beautiful, the LD.
