Recycling plastics – and creating great products
-
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.

Each and every stage of RE Plano’s recycling process is carefully documented
We work together with universities to develop new production methods and products. As a result, we are continuously finding new markets for our recycled raw materials
How RE Plano recycles plastics
-
-
1. 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.
-
-
2. 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.
-
-
3. 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.
-
-
4. Extrusion
The production line contains both single-screw and twin-screw extruders. This system produces high quality plastic.
-
-
Quality confirmed in black and white
Our products comply with ISO and DIN standards.

Recycled plastics designed to satisfy your every wish

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 moulding 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.

Jute rather than plastic? Plastic can also be sustainable
-
Plastic is an incredibly versatile material with an amazing number of uses. There is one thing, though, that plastic is absolutely not right for: being thrown away. Plastic that is not sent for recycling is – in the best case scenario – incinerated to produce energy. The material and its valuable contents (energy and raw materials) are lost to us forever. What’s more, the emissions have a negative impact on our climate. RE Plano picked up on this over 60 years ago and came to the right conclusion very early on – namely, that plastics recycling is the only sensible solution, especially if you wish to promote sustainability. By dedicating our business to this task, we are helping to protect the environment, conserve natural resources and curb climate change.

The environmental benefits of recycling plastics
-
Reducing consumption of natural resources
Every single gram of recycled plastic reduces the amount of virgin plastic that has to be produced from crude oil.
-
Reducing consumption of land
Reducing the consumption of crude oil also reduces human impact on the environment. The less oil that is extracted from the ground, the less land is needed to refine and transport it.
-
Reducing consumption of energy
Far less energy is needed to recycle plastics than is needed to produce plastic from virgin raw materials.
-
Reducing carbon emissions
If less energy is consumed, then CO2 emissions are cut as well. One tonne of recycled plastic produces one tonne less of CO2 compared to the production processes needed to make virgin plastic.

Rooted in REMONDIS – especially when it comes to company philosophy
RE Plano GmbH – like its sister company, REMONDIS PET Recycling – belongs to REMONDIS Recycling and, consequently, to the global REMONDIS Group. With around 1,000 locations in over 30 countries, REMONDIS is one of the world’s leading recycling, services and water companies. There is something that is more important than its size, however: REMONDIS stands for everything that RE Plano believes so strongly in. Following its motto “recycling rather than disposal”, the company does everything in its power to close as many material life cycles as possible in order to conserve our planet’s natural resources. Which means, RE Plano couldn’t be in better hands. And, because we have access to the REMONDIS Group, we can offer our customers a variety of other recycling services and help them further improve their carbon footprint.
