In the course of the European Green Deal, the call for environmentally friendly alternatives and closed-loop systems is also becoming louder and louder in the area of technical compounds. More and more companies are therefore already using recyclates when purchasing materials in order to reduce their carbon footprint and thus meet the requirements of the market. High-quality recyclates that can be used technically are in greater demand than ever before. They make a valuable and, above all, verifiable contribution to significantly reducing the ecological footprint.

More and more municipalities in Germany have recently started to install wastepaper containers in addition to the then still young waste glass containers; more and more people are including terms such as "resource conservation," "secondary raw materials," "value chain" or even "recycling" in their everyday vocabulary. No one yet suspects that in a few years Reagan will shout to the then Soviet president in Berlin: "Mr. Gorbachev - tear down that wall!"; that Boris Becker will win Wimbledon two more times, or that the topics of recycling and sustainability will become the megatrend of neo-ecology or central economic factors that will influence all business spheres. But as we all know, that should change soon ...
