Our recycling process
The Yellow Bag and the waste from the Yellow Bin are from post-consumer households and collected by the municipal waste collection service. The waste is then delivered to Vogt-Plastic.
The waste is shredded and sorted in our machines. We use various techniques: ferromagnetic metal, for example, is recognised magnetically, while infrared sensors are used for Tetrapak and cardboard. Tetrapak, cardboard, aluminium and tinplate are passed on to our partner companies for recycling.
The plastic regrind is then washed and sorted in Density separation. The salt-water mixture separates PP and PE from PS.
Recycled polystyrene (PS)
Recycled polystyrene can be used to make furniture legs, clothes hangers, winding spools or flush-mounted boxes, among other things.
Recycled PE-LD
Recycled PE-LD is used to produce pipes, films and cable sheathing, among other things.
Recycled PE-HD
Recycled PE-HD is used as a raw material for blow-molded packaging (cosmetics, cleaning agents, tools, etc.) or pipes, for example.
Recycled Polypropylen (PP)
Recycled PP is used for injection-molded packaging, storage and transport boxes, visible automotive interior components, household goods and various construction products, among other things.

Recycled PO is used to make lawn grids, mortar trays, masonry buckets, lawn edging or as a compounding ingredient.
