Metal-Plast, Leader in PVC Recycling – 2024 Year in Review

The year 2024 marked another milestone for Metal-Plast in its mission of sustainable PVC recycling. As an industry leader, the company recycled 32,776 tons of PVC waste, resulting in a CO₂ emission reduction of 65,552 tons. This significant achievement would not have been possible without the engagement of customers and partners. As a token of appreciation, Metal-Plast presents them with certificates of recognition for their shared commitment to environmental responsibility.

For over 30 years, Metal-Plast has been dedicated to professional PVC recycling. Today, it stands as one of the largest rigid PVC recyclers in Europe, working with over 800 window joinery companies. With the ongoing process of thermal modernization, the company has launched a new service – the recycling of dismantled PVC windows. This initiative further enhances the potential of recycling, reduces waste, and contributes to closing the loop on raw materials in the industry.

In the past year, the company began implementing ESG strategies across all areas, reinforcing Metal-Plast’s readiness to support its business partners in these initiatives. By integrating ESG principles, the company not only enhances transparency and sustainable growth but also fosters shared value creation with business partners in responsible resource management.

RecyClass Certification: A Testament to the Highest Standards

Committed to continuous process improvement, Metal-Plast obtained the RecyClass: Recycling Process Certificate last year. This prestigious certification confirms that the company’s recycling processes meet the highest ecological and technological standards.

RecyClass evaluates:
• Efficiency in material recovery,
• Purity and quality of regranulate,
• Compliance with environmental regulations.

Metal-Plast has also been a long-time member of EPPA and the Recovinyl initiative, further demonstrating its commitment to sustainable recycling in Europe.

With the RecyClass certification, Metal-Plast’s customers can be assured that they are partnering with a responsible company that adheres to the highest standards of quality and environmental protection.

The Future of Sustainable Recycling

The year 2024 was record-breaking not only in terms of processed PVC waste but also in regranulate sales. This success drives the company to continue investing in cutting-edge recycling technologies to further enhance efficiency and product quality.

Collaboration with organizations such as RecyClass and Rewindo, along with ongoing improvements in recycling methods, form the foundation of Metal-Plast’s strategy for the coming years. The company aims not only to maintain its leadership position but also to set industry standards.

Metal-Plast remains committed to its mission of responsible recycling, proving that business can be both innovative and environmentally friendly. Every kilogram of PVC recycled is a step towards a more sustainable future. The company extends its gratitude to all partners for their dedication and contribution to protecting the planet. The coming year brings new challenges, but also exciting opportunities for further growth and the implementation of eco-friendly solutions.
