Recycling

Recycling

We have been recycling PET bottles since 1991, just two years after they were first introduced. Today, we recycle between 7 and 9 million PET bottles in our own plants, every day.

We also attach great importance to sustainability in all sub-processes of our recycling system, such as the water supply. Our recycling process comprises several steps in which we first shred and clean old PET bottles before processing them into pellets. This has made us one of the leading recyclers in Europe.

Thanks to our unique manufacturing process, our comfortemp® paddings are made from up to 100% recycled polyester derived from PET bottles.
