Two new members have been appointed to the Supervisory Board of Meraxis AG on May 10, 2022: With Bettina Charrière and Gert-Jan van den Akker, two experienced leaders strengthen the globally operating polymer distributor.

A "plastics tax" awaits plastics processors in many countries. The tax is intended to encourage companies to use fewer prime materials. Meraxis advises its customers to switch to sustainable material alternatives. In this way, they can save taxes and reduce their own carbon footprint at the same time.

Together with Honest Ocean, Meraxis now offers rPET, which is obtained from Coastal Community Collected Plastic – plastic waste that is collected even before it enters the sea. The material is particularly suitable for packaging such as bottles, but also textiles.

As a one-stop shop, Meraxis supplies its customers not only with raw materials, but also with machinery and tools. This means that even medium-sized companies can procure their investment goods globally through Meraxis. How exactly does this work? Our investment goods team procured three customised injection molding tools for the plastics technology and mold making specialist "Krumpholz Kunststofftechnik GmbH", located in Kronach, Germany.

The REHAU Group has decided to suspend their operations in Russia and Belarus until further notice. Meraxis itself is not present in the countries mentioned. However, we have decided to follow this decision and suspend our relations with Russian partners as well.

Raw materials, tools, services and more – Meraxis offers everything from a single source. The results of our latest customer survey show how important this full-service is and how our one-stop shop is already helping many polymer processing companies to master the current challenges the industry is facing.
