Test the calculator
Make a general calculation by testing our calculator. This will give you an idea of the emissions saved by switching from one material to one of our other materials. Contact us if you need help with more advanced calculations that provide precise figures.
Spiral economy
The life spiral of plastic
Because plastic is a material with almost infinite customization possibilities, it is an invaluable resource for the manufacturing industry. By recycling plastic, we make full use of the resource.
A produced component does not necessarily have to be recycled to form part of the same product again, it can be a valuable resource for a different product instead. We call this the spiral economy.
Virgin plastic begins its life-cycle spiral at our parent company Polykemi.
The compound is moulded into a part or an end product and is sent on for final assembly or directly to the market to provide benefit for as long as possible.
Ideally, products that cannot be recycled are collected and incinerated in district heating installations, to be used as new energy.
We provide new life to end-of-life products by preparing plastic material for reuse as recycled plastic raw material. We either deliver to the customer directly from Rondo Plast or via Polykemi.

Achieve your climate goals
In 2015, the United Nations adopted the Paris Agreement, a climate treaty that states we should limit global warming to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius. To achieve this goal, we need many countries and companies to set their own climate goals and work ambitiously to achieve them.
Providing our customers with the conditions to make active, informed material choices was the natural way for us to go. That’s why we created the Materialsmart® concept.
