Flow logistics for material and substance cycles

REMONDIS Recycling is a recycling specialist for glass and plastics, primarily PET, HDPE, PP and polyamide. A key focus area of our service spectrum is packaging waste. The materials we recycle come from municipal collections and the dual systems, but also from the beverage industry, as well as the central depots and branches of food retailing. The core business also embraces services related to the German deposit system, where we are one of the most important providers for beverage deposits and deposit clearing. Over and beyond the area of packaging, REMONDIS Recycling is also engaged in the sector of textile recycling.

Using What is Valuable
Packaging containing valuable substances is professionally processed with modern technologies in our facilities and then returned to the economic cycle as high-quality recycled materials. REMONDIS Recycling thus operates one of Europe's most advanced recycling plants for PET plastics in Hamburg, for example, where used non-refillable bottles are turned into up to 20,000 tons of recyclable plastic flakes every year. We also sort old textiles in keeping with a wide-ranging catalogue of criteria and make them available for reuse.

Glass Recycling
Over 40 years of practice in collecting and recycling glass make REMONDIS Recycling one of the most highly regarded and experienced companies in this area. We collect all commonly used glass types for municipalities, dual systems and industrial or commercial operations, and recycle them in accordance with high quality standards. Our competence in this regard embraces disused hollow glass as much as flat glass.
Plastics RecyclingUsing sophisticated, complete solutions, we ensure the recycling of plastic materials from municipal collections, return systems, commercial operations or industrial production. Our service offer meanwhile includes the provision of the collection equipment as much as local pre-sorting. In cutting-edge facilities, the materials are turned into products of a defined quality, for example ground goods and granulates made from HDPE and PET.
Textile RecyclingOur textile recycling is performed in cooperation with established partners, including welfare organisations, societies, local authorities and business contractors. The textiles are collected in special containers and undergo a multi-stage recycling process at our sorting facility – from pre-sorting via a specific classification in over 140 varieties through to the packing, for example according to the season, material or quality.
Quality as the highest premise: Optical sorting devices enable even the smallest impurities in old glass to be detected and sorted out.

Raw materials. The basis for new things

Glass
When it comes to glass, we supply glass foundries with a recyclable substance that meets exacting requirements with its pure colour and material. This is because the purity of the recycled glass is of decisive importance for its reuse. To assure this high quality, we regularly perform automated material inspections, as well as certifying and auditing our facilities, amongst other aspects.

-
Plastics
Our recycled plastics are of a uniformly high quality and distinguished by their great purity. This renders the products viable for a great variety of application options. The properties of our re-granulates, for example, are comparable with those of the new material, which makes them outstandingly suitable for extruded and injection-moulded products. The same applies to our ground goods. The PET flakes can be used for producing films, bottles, strapping and fibres, for example.

Textiles
REMONDIS Recycling delivers different grades of old clothes and shoes according to their customers‘ requirements. All in all, we can separate old textiles into 140 groups which fall into nine categories. Textiles that cannot be reused are turned into dusters or send to industrial businesses for further recycling.

Deposit on Non-Refillable Containers
Every non-reusable beverage container sold in Germany that is subject to a mandatory deposit is worth 25 cents upon its return – money that the retailers pay to the consumer and can as a rule reclaim from the bottlers or importers. This deposit compensation can only work if there is seamless information about when a non-reusable container has been returned, and at which outlet. REMONDIS Recycling provides comprehensive services for this – including the data management and accounting for and devaluation of containers, which are also recycled by us afterwards.
-
Non-reusable beverage containers that are subject to a deposit are either registered in the reverse vending machines of the outlets or in our counting centres
-
Deposit on Reusable Containers
We offer the beverage industry solutions for handling their reusable PET bottles. To do this, we register the bottles by way of their barcodes, compare them with data base data, and then sort them. This way the flows of empties can be precisely controlled, reliably accounted for, and seamlessly tracked. HDPE beverage crates that are no longer needed are ground down to a granulate and reused as a recyclable material.
-
We also support customers from industry and commerce with tried-and-tested solutions for handling recyclable materials such as sealing caps or paper and film labels
