In our new sustainability report, we show how we are reducing our ecological footprint, practicing social responsibility and making our company sustainable. We give you insights into our measures – with the aim of shaping a future-oriented, responsible polymer industry.

Sustainability can’t remain a promise – it must be verifiable. That is why we rely on independent certifications. With ISCC PLUS and RecyClass, we ensure that our products comply with the highest environmental and quality guidelines. What can Meraxis’ suppliers and customers rely on? An overview.

What is really important to our customers? Our latest survey shows that they particularly appreciate the speed, reliability and transparency of our sales and logistics. Interest in sustainable solutions is also growing. We would like to thank you for your feedback – and use it to strengthen these areas specifically.

Olga Baburina has been Head of Global Sales at Meraxis since the fall of 2024. In this interview, the experienced industry expert talks about the dynamics and prospects of the polymer industry, changing customer re­quire­ments – and why polymers remain a key driver of innovation.

Our latest partner is Polymerize: With its AI-supported platform, plastics processors can develop new formulations up to ten times faster. This is a major boost for efficiency and innovation in the polymer industry.

To provide sustainable material alternatives, Meraxis collaborates with leading innovation partners. In partnership with Belgium-based PET producer JBF and UPM Biochemicals, a German pioneer in wood-based biochemical products, we are introducing CO2-reduced PET with bio-based content. In our interview, Sobhi Bou Obeid, Polyester Business Unit, highlights the benefits of this groundbreaking product and how we support our partners in reaching their sustainability objectives.

The global polymer distributor Meraxis is reinforcing its management team: Olga Baburina is assuming leadership of Global Sales and Dr. Mattis Gosmann is taking over as head of the Standard & Performance Polymers Division at Meraxis. These two management additions are strengthening the company’s global polymer purchasing and sales operations to support continued growth. Meraxis is one of the world's leading plastics distributors. The full-service provider's one-stop shop supports customers in the strategic procurement of polymers and polymer-related products.

Meraxis and the AI deep-tech start-up POLYMERIZE have forged a strategic partnership. POLYMERIZE is a developer and provider of a materials informatics platform, which is specifically tailored to the research and development needs in the polymer industry. POLYMERIZE’s Software-as-a-Service platform allows converters, producers, and compounders to optimize their materials development and launch new – and more sustainable – products more quickly. This partnership aims to expand their range of services in the European market. Meraxis is also a shareholder of the Singapore-based start-up.

A transnational partnership pools resources to develop scalable technology to extract heavy metals from recycled PVC and further the circular economy for both materials.

The Swiss trading group Meraxis and the Finnish company Fortum Recycling & Waste (Fortum) are deepening their existing cooperation with a strategic partnership.

Meraxis Services GmbH and REHAU Industries, along with three other partners, have received funding for their ‘CO2ptiMat’ project from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK). The aim of CO2ptiMat is to develop a digital solution that allows plastics processing companies to determine and optimize the actual carbon footprint of their own production.

With RC Plast, Meraxis has found another strong partner for recycled materials: With immediate effect, we will begin distributing selected high-quality regranulates from the Danish manufacturer in Europe. The portfolio includes unfilled polypropylene (R-PP) made from recycled fibers for technical applications.
