\u201eI am looking forward to the new tasks at Interzero. In many industries, the consistent closing of material cycles is increasingly taking centre stage. Implementing innovative solutions together with the international Interzero team and our customers and thus contributing to a more sustainable use of raw materials is an exciting task at the cutting edge of technology. As an innovation leader and the largest plastics sorter in Europe, with its people, team spirit and many years of experience, the Interzero Group is excellently positioned for this.\u201c<\/p>
