From waste to recycled granulate, potential new raw materials pass through several different recycling processes.

These range from sorting, shredding, washing, and drying to extrusion, including filtration, compounding, and odour optimisation. The challenge for the industry lies in fine tuning these individual recycling steps – in particular when energy efficiency and high recyclate qualities are to be achieved.

The founding of BLUEONE Solutions, a company owned 50:50 by the Erema Group and Lindner Holding (and to which shares of Lindner Washtech were contributed) is that very starting point. The know-how and experience of Lindner Washtech will be combined with that of the extruder manufacturer Erema. They aim to significantly increase the added value and to set industry standards by adjusting and optimising processes and conducting joint research projects.

The Erema Group has been active in plastics recycling for 40 years and is considered an extrusion market leader. Lindner, a manufacturer of shredders and recycling facilities for the waste management industry for the past 75 years, has established a world-wide presence with the Lindner Washtech brand as a washing facilities specialist in the past 10 years.

Joint research projects, such as the pilot facilities in the LIT Factory at the Johannes Kepler University (JKU) Linz, allowed the companies to enter into a close technical exchange years ago.
