Problem
The increasing volume of plastic waste, particularly polyethylene (PE) film from commercial, industrial, agricultural, and logistic sources, poses a significant environmental challenge. Traditional plastic production methods contribute to high CO2 emissions and pollution, while current recycling capacities are insufficient to meet the growing need for sustainable materials.
Solution
Repeats Group operates a pan-European platform of PE recycling facilities that transforms post-use plastic film into high-quality recycled pellets. Utilizing post-commercial, post-industrial, post-agricultural, and post-logistic films with moderate contamination levels, Repeats employs sorting, washing, and extrusion processes to create transparent, white, and multi-colored pellets. These recycled PE pellets serve as a new raw material for various applications, including packaging, shopping bags, irrigation pipes, and technical cables, reducing reliance on virgin plastics and lowering CO2 emissions. The company focuses on building solid and impactful value chains with suppliers and clients, ensuring traceability throughout the recycling process, from waste origin to finished product.
Target Audience
The primary customers are manufacturers in the packaging, agriculture, and infrastructure industries seeking sustainable and high-performance recycled PE materials.
