Digital transformation as an opportunity for the plastics industry. Our CEO Dr. Stefan Girschik speaks about the opportunities of digitalization in the polymer industry.

Polymer converters will face new regulations in the coming years. One example is the proposal to regulate packaging and packaging waste, which the European Council published in November 2023. In this interview, our recycling expert Elmar Schröter explains how companies can prepare for this new regulation and how Meraxis can support them.

Meraxis and Fortum Recycling & Waste have forged a strategic partnership to strengthen our existing cooperation. We distribute selected recyclates from the Finnish recycling company throughout Europe. The portfolio includes high-quality PP, HDPE and LDPE recyclates as well as customized re-compounds.

Reducing CO2 emissions is becoming increasingly important for the polymer industry. The resource-conserving use of recycled materials is one of the most effective means of achieving this. But what can companies do if they depend on prime material for technical or economic reasons? CO2-reduced alternatives are available here as well. For example, we supply the polymer processor REHAU-Industries with S-PVC that is produced with renewable energy.

39,000 visitors and exhibitors from over 40 countries met at the Fakuma trade fair in Friedrichshafen in mid-October 2023. Our Meraxis team was right in the middle of it all, not only introducing visitors to our one-stop shop, but also discussing the future of the industry with representatives from the polymer industry over the four days of the trade fair.

As a one-stop shop, our product- and service portfolio includes everything that polymer processing companies need in order to manufacture their products. For our customers, we procure not only standard polymers or recyclates but also investment goods, such as customized injection molding tools, the appropriate auxiliary equipment and special packaging for series deliveries. Our project with the renowned automotive supplier BIA is an example of how this works.
