How is PP recycled?

Recycled PP is produced from both post-industrial and post-consumer waste. Post-industrial waste comes from manufacturing and production processes, while post-consumer waste consists of PP-products that have been used by end-users.

At IFG, the post-industrial waste is being collected and send to a specialised recycling company. The waste goes through a process of cleaning and sorting, before being mechanically recycled. The resulting material could either be mixed with virgin PP or can be used on its own, depending on customers’ required properties and their final desired application.

In the final stages, the recycled PP is transformed into fibres through a spinning process. According to customers’ needs, we can apply various additives that we offer on our website such as fire retardant, UV, colours, etc.

The rPP significantly reduces CO2 emissions compared to virgin PP, with a lower carbon footprint. Certificates confirming the carbon footprint values of our fibres are available upon request.

At IFG, we are ready to provide innovative solutions to meet the rising demand for products made through sustainable processes.
