Masterflex and REMONDIS enter into cooperation
Strategic cooperation to open the way for high-performance plastics in the circular economy.
Masterflex SE from Gelsenkirchen and REMONDIS Recycling GmbH & Co. KG from Essen have entered into a long-term cooperation: The aim is to set up a circular-flow economy for industrial products made of engineering plastics and to implement it in the market for hose and connection systems as an example.
Hoses and connection systems made from high-performance plastics are used today to solve innovative applications in almost all areas of industrial and private life. Masterflex Group is the world’s leading producer, in this field. For example, when it comes to ensuring state of the art microchip production or enabling safe, compliant, and efficient food production, Masterflex’s hose systems contribute either directly or indirectly to the solution.
But what happens after using these products? Today the used hoses and connection systems are typically disposed of properly, for example, by the European market leader, the REMONDIS Group.
REMONDIS is one of the world’s leading private companies for recycling, industrial and public service as well as water and makes a significant contribution to protecting the environment and conserving resources in many of its business areas. From the recovery of valuable raw materials from industrial and household waste, to the production of high quality recycled raw materials, to the conversion of non-recyclable residues into fuels. The company has been active in plastics recycling for more than 50 years and recognized its importance early on. Ultimately, it is not just about preventing waste, but it is also about conserving valuable resources. By making recovered plastics available to the industry, REMONDIS can significantly reduce the consumption of oil as a primary raw material.
