Establishment of closed material cycles from recycling expert

At Fakuma 2024, pal plast will focus on its service offering for plastics processors. "Managing Director and co-owner Amit Wirnik explains: "The trend in the industry is towards closed material loops. With our modern technical equipment, our many years of expertise and our highly qualified workforce, we can help our customers set up their production to be as waste-free as possible."

On request, pal plast analyzes its customers' material flows, develops a system for collecting surplus or production waste and handles its processing. If required, the company looks for additional recyclate sources for its customers and supplies ready-to-use recompound in the desired quality and quantity. The materials are tested and certified in the company's own laboratory. Production is monitored more precisely and closely than at almost any other supplier. "As far as I know, no one checks production as closely as we do," says Amit Wirnik.

Compounds with customized recycled content

As a pioneer in plastics recycling, pal plast has a wealth of experience and an extensive network. "Our many years of experience provide us with the expertise to use recyclates, virgin materials and additives in such a balanced way that our compounds correspond exactly with the required properties. In recent months, we have once again expanded our product portfolio of recyclates and compounds containing recyclates. Among other things, pal plast offers new PBT grades with variable recycled content, especially for automotive and electrical applications."

Also on display in Friedrichshafen are transparent or piano black-colored PMMA recompounds suitable for the production of cosmetic packaging. In addition, pal plast now has glass-fiber-reinforced polyamide 6 in its range, which is heat-stabilized and can withstand temperatures of 160 °C on a permanent basis. This makes the material predestined for applications in the engine compartment of vehicles, for example.

Amit Wirnik is already looking forward to Fakuma and many goal-oriented technical discussions. "In the future, it will hardly be possible to run a profitable business without addressing the issue of waste management. We invite all plastics processors who want to establish closed-loop recycling in their operations to join us at booth A5-5001. Let's find out together, over a refreshing drink and a tasty snack, how easy it can be to get started with closed-loop recycling when you know you have a competent partner at your side." It's time for the circular economy. True to their claim: "Circular. Now."
