Close cycles with us

As a family-owned company, Reiling decided more than a century ago that it was going to collect recyclable materials and recycle them efficiently. This is our important contribution to environmental and climate protection since natural resources can be conserved and an optimal recycling chain created. We are recycling experts, committed to creating an optimised cycle. We are primarily a partner to industry, municipalities, trade, commerce, and dual systems. We support them with comprehensive recyclables management across the entire value chain, from collection and transport to processing and the delivery of high-quality recycled materials. We are constantly developing new utilisation and recycling possibilities with innovative techniques and our own know-how.

Marienfeld site

Cooperative. Reliable. Successful.

Our partners appreciate our many years of experience as well as our comprehensive service. We mainly serve industry, municipalities, trade, and commerce as well as dual systems. We provide support from collection and transport to processing and delivery of high-quality recyclates. Starting out as a simple raw materials trading business, our company grew to be one of the main glass recycling specialists in Germany in the 1950s. Today – in the 5th generation – Reiling presents itself as a large group of companies with twelve German and seven international sites. Despite of this, we have never ceased to be a typical family-owned business. We are proud of this! In spite of all development, our main driving factor still is our commitment and dedication to the common cause! This is what REILING stands for every day!

PET recycling

Efficient recycling starts when the consumer disposes of a PET bottle. Our technical facilities meet the latest standards and guarantee efficient treatment in a multi-stage process. This forms the basis for diverse usage options for the produced 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.

Glass recycling at Reiling: What types of glass do we recycle?

In glass recycling, Reiling processes container glass and, in principle, all types of flat glass into valuable secondary raw materials. These include, for example, float glass, laminated safety glass, toughened safety glass, insulating glass, mirror glass and automotive glass. Suitable processing methods are employed depending on the composition and structure of the glass. Appropriate collection and disposal solutions form the basis for high-quality glass recycling.

PET recycling: a model for success – Germany sets the standard in the circular economy

PET recycling in Germany is a model of success for the circular economy, as the new GVM study shows. In 2025, the average proportion of recycled PET in German drinks bottles stood at 58 per cent. The well-established deposit-return system and an efficient recycling infrastructure enable a functioning material cycle with a recycling rate of 98 per cent. Thanks to shorter threads and reduced wall thicknesses, the industry has also been able to reduce material consumption by a total of 25 per cent since 2017.
