WIth the capabilty of shredding plastic waste and injecting the flakes in to new objects we are capable of recycling a lot of common thermoplastics like PP, PE & PS, but also 3D-Printing Plastics like PLA & ABS.

We also have machines to recycle PET bottles into new 3D-Printing filament. Get in contact if you have a product idea, need an injection mould, if you like to recycle your plastic waste or need help to set up a recyling workspace. Thomas @Johannplasto"
