Recompounds - Solutions for circular value creation
Brenntag offers innovative solutions for polymers recycling that meet the requirements of one of the most important technologies of the future. Recompounds are an example of recycling polymers to produce sustainable products based on industrial secondary raw materials.
In addition to a comprehensive range of polymers and additives from leading manufacturers, Brenntag develops and produces customer-specific compounds. The integration of alternative raw material sources into product development is becoming increasingly important.
The recycling of polymer valuable materials from industrial production is an effective and sustainable solution for saving limited resources, reducing residual material quantities and emissions, and advancing the circular economy.
Recompounds from Brenntag are based on recycled production residues from the polymers industry, such as sprues or start-up parts. Recycling processes timely make the valuable raw materials available again for product development and processing. Innovative materials with specific properties are created from a sorted base material by compounding. These are reused in sophisticated technical applications, for example for e-mobility or regenerative energies.
The recycling concept enables reuse at a consistently high quality level. The properties of the recompounds can even be improved compared with the base material through targeted additives and modified to suit individual customer requirements. For example, opaque to transparent materials and various color settings, such as for lighting applications like vehicle lighting, can be realized.
With a view to circular value creation, we also advise customers on setting up their own circulation system to save resources and costs, achieve sustainability targets, prevent raw material shortages and supply bottlenecks, and secure competitiveness.
