Sustainability Pledge
- Sustainable recycling system for plastics is central to the vision of a circular economy where materials are kept in continuous use, minimizing waste and the consumption of finite resources.
- The future lies in developing technologies and processes that make recycled plastics indistinguishable from virgin materials in terms of quality. This will allow for plastics to be recycled multiple times without losing their properties, enabling a truly circular economy for plastic materials.
Our conviction
Plastic recycling is about creating a resilient system where plastic materials retain their value over time, contributing to a sustainable future while reducing environmental impacts. Our goal is to ensure that plastics can be repeatedly recycled without significant degradation, while maintaining the quality and utility of the material.
We made them more durable and efficient by focusing on advanced technologies and effective policies.
It is not just about solving current problems but about creating a future in which plastic contributes to economic development without compromising ecological health.

Our sustainability principles
Recycling excellence
To achieve the highest standards in the recycling process, maximizing efficiency, quality, and environmental benefits. We pioneered mobile recycling. Today, as one of the leading mobile plastics recyclers, PPE continues to push the boundaries in recycling technologies and applications.
European waste management has evolved in recent years from simple waste management to a circular economy based on the 2008 Waste Directive (Directive 2008/98/EC, 19/11/2008). Waste prevention, reduction of air pollution, use of photovoltaic systems for self-sufficient production, electric charging stations for e-cars etc… leave an important mark on the image of today's waste management industry.
Environmental footprint
We understand that saving the planet requires collaboration between individuals, businesses, governments, and communities. It’s about making choices that prioritize the health of the planet and future generations, from everyday actions to large-scale policy changes. The cumulative effect of individual actions and systemic changes in energy, waste, and resource management can lead to a healthier, more sustainable world.
We will continue to improve our energy efficiency and use renewable energy. PPE recently developed, together with a German supplier, an installation to agglomerate all HDPE dust generated by its own grinding and washing process. The ecological and economic benefits of “Mobile Regrinding of Plastics” have always been PPE's business focus. The mobile grinding of crates, wheely bins, pallets, etc., makes it possible to process discarded products immediately at the time of seizure. The reduction in CO2 tax, up to 20% compared to transport without reduction, significantly affects the positive carbon footprint.
Since the beginning, our core objectives have been providing high-quality, reusable raw materials, preserving the environment and its natural resources, and reducing the CO2 burden of freight traffic.
Social impact
We organize and support philanthropic initiatives in the local communities in which we are present. To encourage employees to engage in community development, together with our employees, we actively initiate projects, small and large, to foster a better environment for all – from planting trees and installing beehives, to supporting electric mobility and cleaning up waste. We focus on initiatives with tangible impact and a long-term effect. The ambition is that all initiatives are cross-generation, with groundbreaking and/or incremental changes on our planet.
To our own employees, we have the responsibility to create a trusted and healthy place to work. We want to equip & develop them well with the right tools, equipment, and processes. We strive for a safe, collaborative environment that incorporates ethical behavior, caring for each other’s well-being, and respect for all aspects of diversity.
