The Secretary General of the European Electronics Recyclers Association came to Kematen to see how electrical waste becomes single-grade plastic again.
Vanya Veras, Secretary General of the European Electronics Recyclers Association, visited the sites in Amstetten and Kematen an der Ybbs. The focus was the question shared by every European electronics recycler: how do you get the plastics fraction out of the material stream at a quality manufacturers can work with again?
Waste electrical equipment contains 20 to 25 per cent plastics on average. That share decides whether statutory recycling targets are met — and in many countries it still ends up in incineration.
For the Müller-Guttenbrunn Group communication carries the highest priority — with authorities, take-back systems, suppliers and staff.
MGG Polymers produces more than 20,000 tonnes of post-consumer recycled plastics a year in the grades PP, ABS, HIPS and PCABS. The pellets meet the requirements of REACH and RoHS.
