Raw materials made by GRAF

In 2024, the proportion of recycled material amongst the raw materials processed by GRAF stood at 74.5 per cent. GRAF produces all the recycled raw materials used for this purpose at its own raw materials centre – including from plastic waste collected in the yellow bin. In this way, short-lived packaging is transformed into long-lasting products.

The Centre of Excellence combines several process steps and modern plant technologies into an integrated process chain – from the processing of plastic waste to the production of high-quality recycled raw materials. In this way, GRAF lays the foundation for the extensive use of recycled materials in its own production and makes an important contribution to the circular economy.

We also convinced the Federal Ministry for the Environment Germany with our innovative ideas. The federal government supported the project as part of the Environmental Innovation Programme, which aims to promote the use of new technologies and the setting up of production plants that can serve as role models.
