PCR PP Recompounds

What is a PP recompound?

A polypropylene recompound is a recycled plastic that consists of recycled polypropylene. Through targeted processing and the addition of additives, the material quality is optimized so that it can be used as a sustainable alternative to new products in various industries.

Our PP recompounds are available in different versions. You can find more information about these qualities on the linked pages.

Environmentally friendly materials

Polypropylene recompound is an environmentally friendly alternative to virgin material because it is made from recycled plastics, thus conserving valuable resources. By recycling polypropylene, we reduce the carbon footprint and the demand for fossil raw materials. In addition, the energy-efficient production process has a lower environmental impact compared to new plastic. Thanks to its excellent properties, polypropylene recompound is suitable for various applications, e.g. in injection molding and extrusion, without compromising on quality and functionality. An important step towards a circular economy and a sustainable industry!

Characteristics

Polypropylene recompound is characterized by its high mechanical strength, chemical resistance and good heat resistance. It is extremely easy to process, particularly by injection molding and extrusion, and offers a sustainable alternative to virgin material – ideal for a wide range of industrial applications.

How does PP recompounding work?

During the re-compounding of polypropylene (PP), recycled plastic waste is processed into high-quality granules in a multi-stage process. First, the material is sorted and cleaned to remove impurities. It is then shredded, melted and filtered to ensure consistent quality. The material properties are optimized through targeted additive use – for example, with stabilizers or reinforcing agents. The finished PP recompound can then be used in various applications, such as injection molding and extrusion, and offers a sustainable alternative to virgin material.

Advantages

Polypropylene recompound offers a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to virgin material. It reduces the consumption of fossil raw materials, lowers CO₂ emissions and supports the circular economy. Thanks to the energy-efficient manufacturing process, it actively contributes to environmental protection. Thanks to targeted processing and the use of additives, it impresses with stable mechanical properties, high durability and versatile processability, e.g. in injection molding and extrusion. This makes it possible to manufacture sustainable products without compromising on quality or performance.
