Together making plastic fit for the futurE.
Plastic is at the center of many discussions - but on closer inspection, it often shows clear advantages: for example in terms of CO2 footprint, energy efficiency and its durability. Plastic has been driving innovation for over 100 years - in medicine, the home, mobility and more. For us, plastic is the material of the future. The decisive factor is how we use it: well thought-out, recyclable and responsible. This is what we are working on at Pöppelmann - together with our customers and partners.
How we ensure that more packaging can be recycled.
How we manage to save up to 80% CO2e with recycled plastic.
How we bring used plastics into the material cycle.
MAKE POSSIBLE MORE TOGETHER.
