Protech circular profiles. Sustainable plastic profiles made from up to 100% recycled plastic.

ProTech circular profiles stand for plastic profiles that are produced with an even greater focus on sustainability and resource conservation. The profiles are made from recycled plastic and make it possible to save natural raw materials, reduce CO2 emissions and minimize the greenhouse effect. Companies that are leaders in the areas of social and environmental management perform better than average and create a better brand image. Customers are willing to spend up to 20% more on environmentally friendly products. ProTech circular profiles enables companies to be better prepared for stricter environmental regulations and rising energy costs. By using ProTech circular profiles plastic profiles, companies are making an active contribution to improving and preserving our environment.

ProTech circular profiles was created to respond to the increasing demand for products made from recycled plastic and to stimulate demand for recycled plastic profiles. We want to make an active contribution to environmental protection.

How does the circular economy work with plastic profiles?

The circular economy for plastic profiles is a holistic approach: extending the service life of plastic products, using resources efficiently, minimizing waste. ProTech circular profiles are geared towards advancing our circular economy step step.

1. Procurement of raw materials: The circular economy begins with the selection and procurement of raw materials. Ideally recycled plastics or bio-based materials to reduce the need for new raw materials.
2. Design to recycle: When designing plastic profiles, care is taken to ensure that they are easy to recycle. This means that materials that are difficult to separate are avoided and the profiles are designed in such a way that they can be easily recycled.
3. Production: The plastic profiles are manufactured with efficiency and environmental compatibility in mind.
4. Distribution: The profiles are distributed in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way, minimizing the use of transport and packaging materials.
5. Use: The plastic profiles should be durable to minimize the need for premature disposal.
6. Repair/Maintenance: In the event of damage or wear, the plastic profiles can be repaired or maintained to extend their lifespan.
7. Collection: At the end of their useful life, the plastic profiles are collected.
8. Recycling: The collected plastic profiles are recycled in order to convert the material into new plastic products. Here, the cycle is closed reintroducing the materials into the production process.
9. Genuine residual waste: Genuine residual waste is what remains after all the previous steps and cannot be recycled or otherwise recovered. This proportion should be as low as possible and, at best, further reduced through improved sorting and recycling technologies.

By optimizing every step in the life cycle of plastic profiles with a view to sustainability and resource efficiency, the circular economy can help to minimize the environmental impact of plastic production and disposal.

FAQs about ProTech circular profiles. Frequently asked questions about plastic profiles made from recycled raw materials.

What are plastic profiles made from recycled granulate?

Plastic profiles made from recycled granulate are building elements or structures made from recycled plastic granulate. The granulate is obtained through the recycling process, in which used plastic products are shredded, cleaned and processed into new granulate particles.

What types of plastics are typically used for recycled pellets?

A variety of plastics can be used for recycled pellets, including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and others. The choice depends on the properties of the end product and the recycling options.

What are the advantages of plastic profiles made from recycled granulate compared to conventional plastic products?

Plastic profiles made from recycled pellets offer various advantages, including environmental friendliness through the reduction of waste and resource consumption, cost savings through the use of recycled material and an improved corporate image through sustainability.

Are plastic profiles made from recycled granulate of the same quality as those made from new plastic?

The quality of plastic profiles made from recycled granulate can vary depending on the manufacturing process and material composition. In some cases, recycled profiles may be slightly less strong or durable than products made from virgin plastic. At ProTech, we ensure consistent, excellent quality through constant quality control of our raw materials.

Are recycled profiles suitable for all applications?

Plastic profiles made from recycled pellets are suitable for many applications, but not all. Some specific applications may require materials with certain properties or quality standards that may not be met recycled pellets.

How can ProTech ensure that the plastic profiles made from recycled pellets are of high quality?

Through our long-standing, trusted suppliers, strict quality controls, transparency and traceability of our supply chains.

Why should I choose plastic profiles made from recycled plastic?

• positive image impact: companies that use recycled materials can improve their image as environmentally conscious organizations and promote awareness of recycling and environmental protection.
• environmental friendliness: the use of recycled plastic reduces the need for new raw materials and reduces the environmental impact and CO2 footprint.
• cost savings: recycled plastic is often cheaper to produce than virgin plastic, which can lead to savings.
• waste prevention: Recycling plastic waste reduces the amount of plastic in landfills and reduces environmental impact.
• energy efficiency: producing plastic from recycled material can use less energy than producing virgin plastic, helping to reduce energy consumption

How is recycled granulate obtained for the production of plastic profiles?

Waste and scraps are collected and separated to obtain reusable raw materials. Thanks to our own shredding plant, we can obtain recycled material that is used in the production of our high-quality plastic profiles.

What types of products can be made from plastic profiles made from recycled granulate?

Plastic profiles made from recycled granulate are used in a wide range of products, including window frames, door frames, pipes, railings, furniture, cladding and much more.
