We are continuously developing our Meraxis customer portal to meet the growing needs of our customers. Regardless of whether they want to digitize their entire procurement process or only parts of it: plastics procurement can be designed more efficiently and sustainably thanks to centralized data, a concise overview, and market information.

Meraxis, a worldwide leading plastics distributor, 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.

Our first sustainability report summarizes how we at Meraxis understand ecological responsibility, a sustainable economy, and social commitment. In particular, we highlight the specific measures we are taking to become more sustainable.

Precise material data is crucial for the plastics converting industry – especially for recycled materials. This is because, unlike new materials, the composition of recycled materials naturally varies as the materials come from different sources. The new Recycling Hub from Meraxis records technical data for every batch of material: digitally and transparently.

Together with our partners REHAU Industries and Kem One, we are actively committed to a strong recycling economy. In a joint research project, Meraxis is supporting the development of a new recycling method that can be used to remove heavy metals such as lead from PVC recycled materials.
