“We practice sustainability! We support our customers with tailored solutions in PET recycling.“
PET Recycling
Lightweight and extremely resistant: About two-thirds of all CSD beverages and nearly half of all mineral waters are filled in PET bottles around the world. However, efficient recycling to the highest standards is necessary to ensure responsible use of resources.

A lightweight, heavy in the making – PET
Rely on an all-round service that is unparalleled anywhere in Germany with us: PET recycling with Reiling. We ensure the cycle for proper recycling from collection to processing to a high degree of purity in the provision of recyclate. This makes an important contribution to ensuring that the quantities of used PET bottles do not have to be diverted to waste incineration or refuse-derived fuel plants. Up to 75,000 metric tons of the lightweight and stable PET disposable containers per year are processed at the Dekra-certified Reiling plant in Hamm; 2020 saw the new addition of a plant in Burgbernheim, central Franconia, with a capacity of around 30,000 metric tons per year.
Demand-driven collection options
Efficient recycling starts when the consumer disposes of a PET bottle. We provide comprehensive and individual support to food and bottling companies for the collection of PET bottles and offer a choice of different models: From full service to do-it-yourself! Skips in various sizes, PET presses, or mobile briquetting presses can be used, as can self-disposal systems and stand-alone solutions in compliance with the packaging regulations. Pick-up on demand is also possible, of course! We support you based on your needs and will go looking for a bespoke solution for you.

Highest standards in reprocessing
Our technical facilities meet the latest standards and guarantee efficient treatment in a multi-stage process. This ensures high grade purity in our recyclate, making the reprocessed polymer material ideal for a wide range of new applications. We deliver the majority of the end products to the customer in BigBags. Silo delivery by truck is also possible for some products, however. It eliminates handling of BigBags and pallets and the corresponding waste. This is particularly important if the customer processes large quantities of flakes.
Tested quality
Our internal quality management along the process of reprocessing ensures high quality in the final product. In addition to random sampling, Reiling relies on laboratory analysis to ensure high-purity PET pellets from the washed flakes. Each BigBag and each silo delivery is also subjected to a precise quality control before the recyclate is delivered for further processing. The test checks for bulk density, off-colour and adhesive residues, as well as for impurities or foreign plastics, particle size distribution and any residual moisture.

Starting a new life cycle
Reiling’s PET recycling ensures that the recyclate is sorted by type and to form the basis of a wide range of uses for the recovered recyclate. In addition to blending in the production of new PET bottles, the granules are also used in the manufacture of polyester fibres as well as in film applications or packaging tapes.
