About energenta ersatzbrennstoffe
energenta ersatzbrennstoffe GmbH has been active in plastics recycling for more than 20 years and has evolved from thermal recovery into a provider of 360-degree recycling solutions. The company from Ochtrup analyses and sorts plastics, shreds and grinds them into granulate and separates plastic mixtures into their individual components. Using a special separation system, metals are separated from plastics to achieve maximum purity by type. The products regrind, regranulates and compounds are returned to production cycles; alternatively, thermal recovery takes place as a substitute fuel instead of fossil energy sources. In addition, the GmbH offers consulting and process development, the implementation of customised circular systems, contract grinding, and the purchase and sale of plastic trading goods. As a certified specialist waste management company, the company serves industry, municipalities and private households regionally, as well as nationally and internationally via the energenta network.
