About us
Because recycling has to get better
Recosal® stands for a new understanding of recycling.
We are a technology-based company for real recycling – scientifically grounded, technically leading and strategically sustainable. We combine experience with innovative strength and take the circular economy to where it has an effect – into practice. Here, industrial efficiency meets scientific curiosity. That is how plastic waste becomes high-grade raw materials – precisely manufactured, CO₂-efficient and matched to specific requirements.
Real recycling. Clear vision. New paths.
We offer
Measurable
CO₂ reduction
Number-based transparency
& traceability
Process reliability
through stable quality
Research-based
development of new products
Our vision
We do it differently
- Data-based research that breaks open existing standards

- Formulations developed to last

- Responsibility that still counts tomorrow

- All-In-One from a single source

- CO₂ facts instead of a green veneer

- Uncompromising recycling – because it simply has to get better
Let’s get started
Recycling without
research is like
research without a plan.
By 2030 we want to be one of the three leading providers of complex plastic recyclate solutions.
Production
Quality manufacturing for high-grade recyclates
Our production follows industrial standards – precisely controlled, continuously monitored and technically state of the art.

Modern plant, clear processes and trained staff ensure that every recyclate matches the requirements exactly.

We do not simply produce recycled material – we deliver high-grade materials, made with system, know-how and high tech.
What we offer:
DIN SPEC 91446

Why is recycling important? 
Here’s why:
  • Did you know?
    Caught between a regulatory stranglehold, mounting pain and the pressure to be sustainable, companies are no longer fighting for competitive advantage – they are fighting to survive.
  • When 80% of the pressure comes from the statute book and the rest
    from critical customers – industries with a high pain level have
    only one choice: recyclates, or risk their reputation.
  • The grace period is over: from 2030 on, 35% recyclate content is mandatory –
    anyone who fails to rethink now pays twice later.
    (Source: “Recycled content requirements for plastic packaging”, EU Regulation 2024/1781 – Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, Article 7)
  • Plastic with a past is the future: by 2050 the
    recyclate share will quintuple – and whoever does not keep up falls behind.
    (Source: Material Economics (2019), “The Circular Economy – A Powerful Force for Climate Mitigation”, p. 60)
  • 18 million tonnes less CO₂ – every year. Recycling accounts for 25% of
    Germany’s climate progress. The effect is real – and not negotiable.

Without research, quality is
chance – or marketing.
Research
Because consistent quality is no accident
In our own laboratory we analyse plastics precisely and process them purposefully in our pilot plant – with clearly defined formulations, matched to the required properties of the end product. The basis for this is our continuous research, with which we steadily develop formulations and processes further.
- Individual adjustment of every batch to product-specific
  requirements

- Tailor-made regranulates and compounds

- Stable processes and continuous quality testing

- Complete documentation for maximum process reliability
