PLASTIX has developed a unique technology, enabling the mechanical recycling of post-use plastic fibres and rigid plastics primarily from the maritime industry.

PLASTIX’ mechanical recycling technology is developed through a co-creative process, combining custom-made own processing technologies and proprietary adjusted equipment.

Our consistent, high-quality pellets are the product of expert proprietary know-how, which enables us to research, develop and produce according to costumer specific requirements.

Our process starts with sourcing primarily fibre plastics in terms of fishing nets, trawls and ropes from an increasing number of ports, net makers, and plastics collectors globally. We also process and recycle rigid plastics.

Once these used plastic materials arrive at our factory, we sort and fractionate these into the different types of plastics and colours.

This can be a rather labour-intensive step, as the recyclability of fishing gear and other plastic fibre products is currently not considered by the manufacturers nor users.

After sorting and fractioning, we shred, wash, separate and dry the material. Lastly, we compound and extrude it into new Green Plastic raw materials, also called pellets.
