Recycling expertise
within and outside the POLIFILM Group
Pioneers with tradition. For more than three decades, we have been recycling polyethylene (PE) films in Germany and processing recyclate into films. That’s more than 30 years of experience in the mechanical recycling process and in the processing of recyclate, which partners within and outside the POLIFILM Group can now take advantage of. It is this combination that offers a decisive advantage:
We are familiar with the properties and polymer structures of recyclates and with the special demands and control options during the recycling process. With us, you have a partner who understands that not all recyclates are the same and will assist you in choosing the right recyclate as well as the processing of your used films.

Energy-efficient recycling – even for difficult film types
Energy-saving recycling sounds promising. Energy-efficient recycling whilst simultaneously processing film types that have been difficult to recycle up to now – sounds almost too good to be true. But it’s not. We rely on fluff-to-film, a technology that makes this possible: energy efficiency recycling of even adhesive-coated materials.
Our quality promise to you
Transparency & development
Excellence in films. Excellence in European Recycling.
Transparency and short transport routes are important to us, which is why we rely on recycling processed in Europe. Only then can we promise you the same high quality we have always delivered. Our Group mission statement of Excellence in Films can now be expanded to Excellence in Recycling too.
“We’ve been recycling long before it became popular”
Christian RunkelCEO POLIFILM
Equalcycling is our target
Wherever possible, we always strive to maintain the original quality of a film. This means that the regranulate gained from used film ideally goes back in the same or an equivalent film type. Because for us, regranulate is a valuable material.
