At Formit, we have been recycling almost all the plastics we process since our establishment. This is not an afterthought, but an integral part of how we work. By 2024, we will have collected over 15,000 kilos of plastic for recycling. The materials - including PS, ABS, PMMA, PVC and PP - are sorted, ground up and reused as raw materials. This is how we make a concrete contribution to the circular economy.
What is plastic recycling?
Plastic recycling means that residual material is not thrown away but reused in production. At Formit, we carefully collect residues by type and deliver them as grinding material. The result: high-quality non-virgin plastic suitable for various industrial applications. This process is fully integrated into our production and contributes daily to less waste and more efficient use of raw materials.
The role of plastics in the circular economy
The circular economy is all about reusing raw materials. Instead of one-off use and disposal, materials are reused in the chain. Plastics lend themselves perfectly to this: they are light, strong, dimensionally stable and easy to recycle. Thanks to years of practical experience, we know exactly which types are suitable for reuse - and how to process them responsibly.
How we reuse residual material at Formit
By 2024, we will have delivered more than 15,000 kilos of plastic for recycling. These materials are separated internally by type, processed into grinding material and reused in industry. This way, nothing goes to waste. We work with established partners who meet all quality and processing standards, so we can guarantee that the recycled raw materials are put to full use again.
Why recycling adds value
Plastic waste that is not recycled means waste. Recycling ensures that value is preserved. Reusing plastic reduces the demand for new raw materials, reduces environmental impact and keeps production costs manageable. For us, this is a logical part of smart manufacturing.
Frequently asked questions about plastic recycling
What is plastic recycling within a circular economy?
It means that plastic waste material is reused as raw material. This keeps material in circulation and avoids waste.
Why is plastic suitable for recycling?
Many plastics can be recycled several times without loss of quality or properties.
What is the benefit of plastic recycling for businesses?
Lower raw material costs, less waste and a more sustainable production process.
Working together to reduce waste
At Formit, we work on plastic solutions every day. By structurally recycling residual materials, we contribute to a circular production process. Not as a bonus, but as a natural part of our approach.
