Closed-cycle waste management for the bioplastic polylactic acid (PLA) from all stages of the value chain: this is the aim of RE|PLA Cycle GmbH. As the leading innovative force on the market, RE|PLA Cycle develops and establishes operative recycling solutions that correspond to the special characteristics of the bioplastic PLA.

RE|PLA Cycle is the first provider to successfully introduce PLA closed-cycle waste management for reusable materials in the area of post-industrial waste. In extensive pilot projects at sorting and recycling plants, efficient procedures were developed that are ideally suited to the substance and the necessary logistics structures were established. RE|PLA Cycle is also working on solutions to enable PLA products from the area of post-consumer waste, after collection in yellow recycling bags, to be processed in closed-cycle waste management in future. In view of the anticipated increase in the volume of PLA used, RE|PLA Cycle is preparing the necessary comprehensive structures for recycling. 

RE|PLA Cycle is a consultant and service provider for all market participants. The newest subsidiary in the Reclay Group develops and implements individual solutions throughout the entire PLA value chain. With broad expertise and an excellent network, RE|PLA Cycle is positioned as a central contact and communications platform for all participants – from manufacturers, processors and branded companies through to the recycling industry and interested non-governmental organisations.

In addition to the development of complete systems for PLA, the product spectrum of RE|PLA Cycle also comprises the realisation of individual projects and support for all aspects relating to PLA as a key issue for the future. For example, RE|PLA Cycle provides companies with advice on the use of PLA right from the initial idea, and provides the necessary technical knowledge and engineering expertise to ensure successful implementation. As the volume of PLA used increases, RE|PLA Cycle will develop further innovative services and products - tailored entirely to the needs of market participants.
