Quality-assured. Application-driven. Reliably available.
plastship ensures the supply of recyclates where they are actually needed: in real applications, under real market conditions and within increasing regulatory requirements.
Our focus is not on maximum variety, but on suitable, available and reliable solutions for your specific application.
Recyclate supply presents growing challenges for companies: fluctuating quality, limited availability, increasing regulatory requirements.
plastship supports you in sourcing recycled plastics reliably, predictably and application-driven – as a trusted distributor in the plastics recycling market.
Sourcing recycled plastics is not a one-off task, but a continuous process.
It requires market expertise, feedstock understanding, quality assessment and logistics.
plastship takes on this role as your partner across the entire value chain.
We combine the key elements:
predictable, scalable and reproducible supply
The starting point is not the material – but the application:
Only then do we address the market.
Based on this, we define:
End-to-end recyclate supply
Structured supply from requirement definition to stable delivery.
We combine market, feedstocks and quality into reliable supply concepts – including logistics, documentation and compliance.
Digital platform & material search
Our platform makes recyclates comparable and accessible.
It enables a structured search based on application-specific criteria and provides access to quality-assured material data.
Custom recyclates & formulation development
If standard grades are not sufficient, we develop tailored recyclates.
Working with our network, we combine application, materials and material flows to create a practical solution.
Through plastship, you gain access to:
from various feedstocks
from defined sources
selected for your application
for circular economy
Key characteristics:
with EU regulations
Selecting the right recyclates depends on: quality, origin and availability.
A stable supply of recycled materials therefore requires a combination of verified material streams, robust quality data and a reliable distribution network.
plastship ensures that recyclates are not only available, but also suitable for your application.

Access to actual quantities and structures via existing RIGK take-back schemes
with the grades of recycled material currently available
long-term, reliable cooperation rather than short-term deals
The selection of a suitable recycled material is not primarily based on material data sheets, but on the requirements of your application.
The key factors are processing, product specifications, permissible variations and regulatory requirements. Suitable material streams, grades and supply concepts are defined on this basis
The availability of recycled materials depends not only on the market, but above all on access to stable material streams.
A reliable supply of recycled materials is based on:
- secure input streams (e.g. industrial waste, take-back schemes)
- long-term partnerships
- active supply chain management
Typical risks associated with the supply of recycled materials include:
- fluctuating quality
- lack of comparability between materials
- unclear origin
- short-term supply shortages
These risks can be significantly reduced through structured procurement, verified material flows and reliable quality data.
The quality of recycled materials is determined by a combination of:
- defined material flows
- tests and analyses
- documented material data
It is only through the structured collection and comparability of this data that a reliable selection for specific applications becomes possible.
Material flows form the basis of any recycled material supply.
Only when the origin, composition and processing of a material flow can be traced is it possible to establish:
- consistent quality
- reproducible properties
- long-term supply strategies.
Procurement risks can be reduced by:
- selecting materials based on their intended use
- establishing stable supply structures
- ensuring transparency regarding quality and origin
- forming long-term partnerships throughout the value chain
Customised recycled materials are appropriate when:
- Standard grades do not meet the requirements
- Specific properties are required
- Stable production processes need to be ensured
In these cases, the material, formulation and material flow are specifically tailored to the application.
Regulatory requirements relate in particular to:
- Documentation
- Traceability
- Material compliance
A structured supply of recycled materials incorporates these requirements at an early stage into the material selection process and the supply chain.
