RECYKLING
WE GIVE WASTE A SECOND LIFE
Running a business responsibly and sustainably a means to enhance business reputation, reduce costs and improve environmental performance.
Real benefits of recycling plastics include:
Reduction of CO2 emissions by up to 90% and a positive impact on climate change
The best alternative to fossil fuels
Reduced dependence on natural resources (natural gas, oil)
Reduced release of plastic waste into the environment
No burning or storage of plastics causing the release of toxic toxins and gases
Wide range of recyclate applications from food containers to aesthetic automotive components
Trend setting and strong environmental protection advocacy leading to legislative changes, new PCR Directive and Extended Producer Responsibility
Traceability, standardisation, regulated standards and disclosure regarding the treatment of plastic waste
New collaboration and value chains
Development of new technologies, automation and process-oriented operations
We cannot eliminate the plastics, it is a too valuable material. RECYCLING is the shortest path to achieve sustainable development.

INNOVATION
SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT
Our product is used in production of special polyethylene films. It also remains a sustainable alternative to raw materials derived from fossil fuels.
Conkret pursues harmonious and systematic development of activities, and their end-to-end offer contributes to solving the problem of environmental pollution. All this owing to the fact that the team designs effective solutions with recycling in mind. For us, sustainability means responsibility. This is why the Conkret brand follows the idea of socially sustainable business.
ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS
With the growing environmental awareness of society both customers and manufacturers have become increasingly interested in the size of the carbon footprint. Carbon footprint means the total amount of greenhouse gases emission caused by production of a product.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
We are focused on optimisation of our processes to reduce our carbon footprint. We want our operations to pollute the environment as little as possible.
RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS
Our history shows how important it is for us to take full responsibility. This is why the Contalen brand is run follows the concept of responsible business.
WASTE REDUCTION
Our focus is sustainable development and care for the environment by improving our products and reducing production waste. Rapidly evolving digitisation and automation support this approach. Digitisation and automation create new opportunities for process optimisation.
TRANSPORT OPTIMISATION
We spare no efforts on improving and optimising transportation to reduce carbon emissions, costs and to increase efficiency.
GREEN ENERGY
The electricity we use for all Contalen processes is generated by our own photovoltaic installation. It produces more than 52.8 kWh each year. By using green energy we are able to reduce harmful carbon emissions and thus our carbon footprint.
OUR SOLUTIONS
ACP TECHNOLOGY
The ACP technology we implemented is a cure for these environmental problems. It is supported by 30 years of recycling experience and the outcome of years of R&D work.
The ACP technology led an innovative product - the PE regranulate - produced using polyethylene waste from selective collection. Our production capacity increased by 80%, and 100 tons of plastic waste is being recycled every day. The parameters of Conkret regranulate are similar to the original raw material, but significantly exceed the properties of regranulate produced using traditional methods.
2050
ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER?
The permanent extraction of fossil fuels that are running out is used to make plastic products from them. After a single use, most end their lives in a landfill or incinerator. Furthermore, 8 million tons of plastic enter the oceans each year – a number that continues to rise. If we fail to introduce rapid changes, by 2050 the oceans will contain more plastic than fish.
Only 14% of plastic packaging in circulation is recycled. As a result, the economy loses the equivalent of $80-120 billion a year, but what is even worse is the constant increase of carbon emission into the atmosphere.
The belief that banning plastics and replacing them with materials like glass, paper or aluminium will solve the problem is wrong. Swapping plastic for other raw materials may lead to a number of unintended negative consequences, such as: increased carbon emissions, water consumption and food waste. So we need to switch to recycling, which is an integral part of the circular economy.

Certificates
WE CARE ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
EuCertPlast certification, obtained in 2020, is a confirmation that our regranulates are produced using post-consumer waste and are fully traceable.
As active members of plastics recycling associations, environmental protection is our constant concern.
