In-house recycling helps preserve raw materials

How can we recycle materials as efficiently as possible? This was the key question when Modiform was founded in 1980. Over the years, we have been refining our recycling techniques. We are reducing the creation of new plastics by opting for polystyrene (PS) material, a fully recyclable raw material.

With the help of our in-house recycling facilities, we can give our PS material a new life each and every day! We collect the used trays from growers to whom we pay a fair refund. These trays are then processed by Modiform into clean granulate. But even our clean grinding material (cutting waste and rejected products) are used directly in making new foil. Our internal foil manufacturer processes the granulate into new foil. The result is a fully closed loop with recycled and recyclable trays that are sent out again to the growers. By doing this, we prevent unnecessary loss and literally close the circle.
