On 20 September, we’ll be at the Spökenkieker Town Festival in Harsewinkel from 1.00 pm to 6.00 pm. Look forward to our glass recycling collection vehicle, a prize draw, XXL football darts and much more. We look forward to seeing you there!

The recycling of solar panels is becoming increasingly important due to the growing volume of end-of-life PV modules. Reiling employs a mechanical recycling process that efficiently processes different types of PV modules without the use of chemicals. This achieves high recycling rates and returns valuable raw materials to the material cycle as secondary raw materials.

At Reiling, waste wood is processed professionally and kept in the material cycle for as long as possible as a valuable secondary raw material. Suitable wood for recycling is processed into wood chips and used, amongst other things, in the chipboard and furniture industries. Wood that cannot be recycled as a material can be used as a fuel to generate electricity and heat.

The Reiling Group offers bespoke transport and logistics solutions for a range of recyclable materials. Its versatile fleet of lorries enables the reliable collection and delivery of materials, as well as the provision of containers.

What happens to window panes, car windows or safety glass when they are no longer needed? In flat glass recycling, the different types of glass are collected, crushed and carefully separated from foreign materials. Find out how professional processing turns glass cullet into a high-quality product that can be reused as a valuable raw material in the glass industry.

Thanks to its properties, PET is particularly well suited to high-quality recycling and can be processed into new PET bottles through bottle-to-bottle recycling. The use of PET recyclates reduces CO₂ emissions and energy consumption, thereby helping to protect the climate and conserve resources. Controlled take-back schemes, modern recycling processes and strict quality controls ensure a high standard of quality.

Solar panels are long-lasting products which, at the end of their useful life, contain valuable raw materials. Through our industrial recycling of solar panels, we mechanically break down the complex composite materials and recover materials such as glass, metals and silicon for further use. For commercial customers, we offer bespoke disposal solutions – ranging from individual solar panels to entire solar farms, including dismantling, logistics and recycling. In this way, we lay the foundations for keeping valuable resources within the economic cycle and reusing them as secondary raw materials.

Used glass can only be recycled to a high standard if only glass packaging is disposed of in the glass recycling bin. Foreign materials such as ceramics or glass-ceramics impair the quality of the glass cullet and can significantly disrupt the recycling process. Find out which materials belong in the glass recycling bin and which do not, so that you can make an important contribution to resource conservation.

To mark the start of the 2026 training programme, Reiling welcomed the new trainees from all sites to the head office in Marienfeld. During the joint induction day, the new recruits got to know one another, explored the company premises and gained an initial insight into their future areas of work.

Waste wood is classified into categories A1 to A4 in order to assess the condition of the wood and any potential contamination. Correct classification is crucial for proper disposal, high-quality recycling and compliance with legal requirements. Find out which materials fall into each category of waste wood and how waste wood is recycled sustainably.

With our flexible container service, we help businesses dispose of flat glass easily, reliably and by type. From the provision of suitable containers to on-time collection and sustainable flat glass recycling, you receive everything from a single source. In this way, we ensure smooth operational processes and return the flat glass to the material cycle.

What actually happens to a PET bottle once it has been returned? The journey from the deposit-return scheme to a new bottle involves many steps – from collection and sorting to high-quality recycling. Find out how used PET bottles are turned back into food-grade material and why this closed-loop recycling cycle is so important.

The long-standing partnership between KWB, SENS eRecycling and Reiling has once again been recognised by the SENS recycling certificate. The certificate highlights their shared commitment to the sustainable, legally compliant recycling of PV modules and the return of valuable raw materials to the material cycle.

Dennis Karstensen has taken over as Managing Director of Reiling Glasrecycling Danmark ApS with immediate effect. Drawing on his experience, he will play a key role in shaping the future development of the Næstved and Vamdrup sites, as well as the future of glass recycling in Denmark within the Reiling Group. We offer him our warmest congratulations and wish him every success in his new role.

Reiling offers professional timber recycling and ensures that waste timber is sorted, processed and recycled sustainably in accordance with best practice. Thanks to state-of-the-art plant technology, strict quality controls and efficient processes, high-quality secondary raw materials are produced and returned to the economic cycle. In this way, timber recycling makes an important contribution to resource conservation and the circular economy.

Reiling PV-Recycling had its own stand at Intersolar Europe 2026 in Munich, where it showcased sustainable solutions for the recycling of photovoltaic modules. Numerous technical discussions, new contacts and exchanges with customers and partners made the trade fair a resounding success.

What happens to a glass bottle once it has been disposed of in a glass recycling bin? Find out how used glass is collected, processed and turned into high-quality cullet, which is then used to make new glass containers – a functioning recycling cycle that conserves resources and makes glass virtually infinitely recyclable.

The Reiling Sorting Guide for demolition projects helps site staff to sort flat glass and other materials correctly and to avoid contamination. Through defined standards, illustrative examples and clear guidance on identifying contaminants, we lay the foundations for high-quality glass recycling. In this way, we work together to make an important contribution to environmental protection and resource conservation, as well as to reducing CO₂ emissions and energy consumption in glass production.

Quality is the foundation of high-quality PET recycling. Through modern recycling technologies, rigorous quality controls and independent certification, we ensure that our PET recyclates meet the highest standards of purity, safety and performance. In this way, we lay the foundations for a sustainable circular economy and the responsible use of secondary raw materials.

Together with Ecotec and SecondSol, we offer a flexible repowering service for solar farms and large rooftop installations. Together, we cover the entire repowering value chain – whether as individual modules or a complete solution. Find out more.

The 35th Reiling-Triathlon in Harsewinkel attracted around 570 participants and, with a range of distances on offer, provided suitable challenges for every ability level. Despite rainy and windy conditions, the athletes put in strong performances. Reiling colleagues also successfully completed the mass-participation triathlon, demonstrating their stamina and sporting ambition.

In addition to recycling hollow glass, flat glass, wood and PET, the Reiling Group also offers specialised container solutions for the collection and disposal of flat glass. With bespoke solutions, our own fleet of vehicles and many years of experience, we ensure the reliable and efficient disposal of flat glass.

The Reiling Group has extensively modernised its site in Marienfeld and has opened a new lorry access road, complete with an additional weighbridge, as well as a relocated administrative office on Max-Planck-Straße. These measures will improve road safety, logistics processes and sustainability, thanks in part to shorter travel distances, CO₂ savings and extensive landscaping. The new facilities were officially opened on 29 May in the presence of staff and guests.
