To build from scratch a company which within just a few years became a leader in the European market of polyolefin recycling, the undertaking needed a few people with lots of unconventional ideas, as well as expertise in and well-tested practical knowledge of plastics, and finally lots and lots of... courage.
This is how it all started for REPLAS company which, since 2012, has been systematically expanding its share in the market of secondary thermoplastic materials, by doubling its sales year after year, and by constantly increasing the number of its satisfied customers.
What was the key to this success?
From the start the company disregarded the idea of “simple recycling”, otherwise known as “down-grading” because of the continuous deterioration of the properties following each consecutive plasticization process.

We also abandoned the motto commonly followed by recyclers, saying “I put whatever I find into the pot, and I will somehow sell whatever comes out”.
REPLAS technologists decided to develop formulas for “enhanced recycling”, designed to restore the rheological and mechanical properties of thermoplastic materials. As a result our re-granulates are in no way inferior to the original materials used by manufacturers. They also have fine lively colours (making it possible to cut down the high costs of dyeing).
To meet our customers’ expectations we constantly improve the formulas, as a result of which original materials can be replaced with our re-granulates at the rate of 50-70%, or indeed completely in some applications.
