About Grünstoff

Grünstoff Polymer Recycling GmbH specializes in the mechanical recycling of plastics. Industrial production waste is purchased, ground in single-polymer form and returned to the plastics cycle as raw material for manufacturing companies; in addition, the company sells plastic recyclates. In this process, the macromolecules remain unchanged, comparable to the recycling of glass or metal. The materials processed include in particular polycarbonate (PC), PC/ABS blends, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The range of services also includes customized waste disposal concepts, on-site consulting and the collection of plastic residues using custom collection containers. Customers include the plastics processing industry, automotive suppliers, electrical engineering/electronics, construction and the packaging industry. The production site is located in Elsenfeld, with additional offices in Frankfurt am Main and Berlin.
