There are two things that are essential for recycling plastics: know-how and technology. As far as the first one is concerned, we have over 60 years’ experience; as for the other, we use the most modern machines currently available on the market. This mixture of tradition and innovation guarantees that our plastics recycling operations produce the same high quality results at all times. A quality, which we will soon be able to offer for even more types of plastic. At the moment, we recycle polyamide (PA), polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). We will soon be extending our portfolio to include polystyrene – as soon as our brand new facility is up and running.
- Laboratory tests Our goal is not only to produce top quality pellets, plastic compounds and ground products but also to ensure that their quality remains at a consistently high level. All materials delivered to us, therefore, are first checked carefully on arrival.
- Sizing & cleaning The material is cut up (wet grinder) and washed. By the end of this stage, all the pieces of material are of the same size, which can be adjusted as required.
- Sorting A range of separating technology is used to remove any contaminants - Such as eddy current separators, air separators, sink/float separators and optical detection systems.
- Extrusion The production line contains both single-screw and twin-screw extruders. This system produces high quality plastic.
- There are number of reasons why both our plastic pellets and the regrind plastic we make from waste plastic are in such high demand: they have similar properties to plastic made from primary material and yet are less expensive than virgin plastic. What’s more, they have a much better carbon footprint. Our materials can be used for a variety of industrial applications (both injection molding and extrusion) and we can always guarantee supplies thanks to our plant’s large production and storage capacity and the input of raw material from the REMONDIS Group. A further advantage for our customers: we are able to develop bespoke products to meet their precise requirements. No matter what the volume, of course.
