Kunststoff Recycling Grünstadt (KRG), Grünstadt, Germany, completed the final expansion stage and commissioning of its sorting and processing plant in mid-February. The company is part-owned by PreZero Germany from Porta Westfalica and the Meinhardt Group from Hofheim am Main and will recycle up to 55,000 tons of plastic at the location in the future.
The material is turned into granules, which are used as a raw material in processing industries. In total, approximately 32 million euros have been invested in new plant technology in Grünstadt, four million euros of which come from the environmental innovation program of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection.
Treatment at RKG focuses on such thermoplastic fractions as HDPE, PP, PA and other engineering plastics. These are processed using sorting, washing and extrusion technology. At the end of the process, mill materials, granules or compounds are produced and continually verified in KRG’s testing laboratories.
