POLICYCLE – We are many things to our customers: Disposal company, RecycClass-certified recycler, recyclate supplier, filmmanufacturer. The element that underpins it all: the sustainable use of plastic as a recyclable material. The idea of focusing expertise concerning the circular economy within the POLIFILM Group was the founding principle of our subgroup. Today, we are proud to close the film cycle with our partners and customers within and outside the POLIFILM
Group, but we are also available as a competent partner through the individual stages of the cycle. Our customers and partners benefit from our decades of expertise in recycling and processing recyclates, which we have taken to the next level with modern technology. Discover your options and join us in moving towards a circular economy – at the appropriate point in the cycle that is right for you.

RECYCLING
Whether it’s the purchase of used films, the recycling of hard-to-recycle solutions such as coated films, or the sale of recyclates – we take a holistic approach to recycling. Get an overview of our range of services and the expertise and technologies behind them, such as the innovative Fluff-to-Film process.

Closing the loops. After production and use most films, especially coated ones are often destined for thermal recycling. With POLICYCLE, there is an alternative solution. Organized waste management, state-of-the-art recycling and the aim of returning re-granulate to (equivalent) film applications are the benchmarks of this new concept.

POLICYCLE opts for RecyClass certification for product and process
As a recycling specialist and film manufacturer, POLICYCLE Deutschland GmbH knows how important transparency is when it comes to recycled materials. Therefore, the company relies on external certification by RecyClass.
POLICYCLE is awarded the IQ Innovation Prize in the Chemistry/Plastics Cluster
The processing of previously non-recyclable adhesive-coated material in the form of protective films into a new film product prevailed over several rounds. This is because it addresses the major issues the industry is facing: Availability of recyclates, circular economy and energy and material savings.
