GOALS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT<\/h2>

What does sustain<\/em>-ability actually mean? And how does the circular economy in which WE operate actually sustain<\/em> the sustainability and thus also the preservation of our valuable earth resources?<\/p>\n

We accept recyclable plastic goods and RECYCLE them into pure regranulates that can and must be further processed as valuable recyclates (secondary raw materials) in order to conserve our earth’s resources. According to Dr. Michael Jedelhauser, recycling, along with waste prevention (repair\/reuse), is one of the core principles of the circular economy [1]<\/a> – the counter-model to the throwaway economy, in which new goods are constantly being produced and purchased.<\/p>\n

Waste, plastic and synthetic materials are unavoidable in today’s world: But we could almost completely dispense with raw materials, e.g. crude oil, by bringing more recyclable raw materials into our cycle.<\/p>\n

Sustainability as a goal<\/h2>

Don’t stay still, keep sustaining.<\/strong><\/em> Sustainability can only be more than just a word if we never stand still and continue to develop our goals.<\/p>\n

We are contributing to the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This refers to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals with the aim of contributing to more sustainable development, peace and prosperity. They require the cooperation of all countries involved and mutually supportive partnerships.<\/p>\n
