Circular ProductsRecycling refers to the process of collecting, sorting, processing, and converting waste materials into secondary raw materials. This involves breaking down materials, such as paper, plastic, metal, and glass, into their raw form so that they can be used again in parts production.
We develop a customized recycling strategy aligned with your goals and challenges, qualifying specialized logistics providers to collect end-of-life products and manage disposal services. We offer customer-specific disposal solutions, fractional sorting at our logistic centers, and pilot projects for evaluating second-life options. We support identifying sources of secondary raw materials and creating customized closed-loop management concepts to reduce dependency on raw materials.
Minimize disposal costs through efficient recycling
Maximize revenues by separating materials into fractions
Provide access to secondary raw materials
Ensure compliance with recycling regulations

Would you like to optimize your recycling program and close material loops? We will assess your current program, provide optimization recommendations and/or even do it for you.
Contact me for an initial, non-binding conversation and let us explore how we can best support you in optimizing your recycling strategy.
The implementation of as pure as possible recycling fractions leads to higher recycling revenues compared to mixed material fractions. A product analysis at the material level enables the implementation of the purest possible recycling fractions.
Besides specifically set sustainability targets, regulatory requirements for the automotive industry are also increasing. The expected update of the End-of-Life Vehicle Directive will oblige companies to use certain percentages of secondary materials in the production of new vehicles. Therefore, the industry is in need of high-quality recyclates. Besides that, compliance with EU and national waste laws is vital to prevent penalties.
With the help of a repair offer, up to 50% of CO2 equivalents can be saved compared to new parts. The automotive industry is under increasing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint. Establishing material flows that are as pure as possible or even mono-material fractions enables high-quality recycling of materials. High-quality recycled materials reduce the need for new raw materials. In addition, material closed-loop concepts support companies in the procurement of secondary raw materials needed to fulfill company internal sustainability goals as well as regulatory requirements.
The conception and execution of customer- or product-specific material closed loops enables customers to develop recycling processes that result in high recyclate quality due to the purity of the secondary material.
No matter if you are seeking a partner to analyze your end-of-life product handling, want to increase your recycling depth or need support on the implementation of open and closed material loops, we can support you either way.
Our experts analyze, in cooperation with you and your customers, the end-of-life handling of your products and create customer-specific solutions to manage your recycling or create product or material loops.
We evaluate your product portfolio and the potential applications of your products with you as part of the 5-R strategies of reuse, repurpose, repair, remanufacture and ultimately recycling. However, to make recycling as the last product life-cycle option as efficient as possible, we work with you to develop fractions that can ideally be reused as secondary raw materials in production processes as high-quality recyclates and provide the necessary recycling partners. Furthermore, our experts audit the recycling processes at your site and the involved stakeholders in your supply chain.
