Services relating to the circular economy

At Fakuma, visitors will meet the new recycling service provider Interzero. Interseroh+ and ALBA Recycling are now part of the new company founded in 2022 under the leadership of shareholder and Chairman Dr Axel Schweitzer: „Our new name explains exactly what we do: We offer international our „zero waste solutions“ transition from a linear to a circular economy - and call it Interzero for short.“

Interzero is a Solution provider for closing product, material and logistics cycles and innovation leader in plastics recycling with the largest sorting capacity in Europe. Under the guiding principle of „zero waste solutions“, the company supports over 50,000 customers across Europe in the responsible handling of recyclable materials, helping them to minimise their own waste. Improve sustainability performance and conserve primary resources.

On the Fakuma Interzero will be demonstrating, for example, how HDPE blow-moulded bottles for detergents, cleaning agents and cleaning products can now be made from 100 percent polyethylene sorted fractions from the Yellow Bag using a patented process. The Interzero team will be presenting several examples, ranging from packaging to seating furniture and bicycle bags, in which Recyclates customised to the customer's requirements are.

Interzero Plastics Recycling - which will continue to operate in part under the name ALBA Recycling until the end of 2023 - will provide all services relating to the extraction and marketing of recycled plastics.

„Recyclates from Interzero already cover a wide range of products and many other applications are still possible. As a pioneer in the industry, Interzero provides solutions for the entire plastics cycle.“

Dr Ulrich Kückelmann, Senior Sales Professional at Interzero Plastics Recycling

Interzero Plastics Innovations carries out the necessary development and analysis work for customised recycled plastics. The experts at the company's own competence centre for plastics recycling in Maribor, Slovenia examine not only the materials and design of the packaging, but also the practical sortability, for example, which they also certify with the „Made for Recycling Interseroh+“ label. The competence centre is the only state-accredited research facility in the EU based on the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 laboratory standard that specialises in the development and analysis of recycled plastics.

„In our view, sustainable innovations are the right way to achieve the goals of the EU Plastics Strategy and successfully expand the circular economy in Europe.“
