Therefore, we are now offering our new “RIKUTEC RECYCLING SERVICE” for our partners and customers. Our aim is to actively reduce the negative impact of packaging waste on the environment. Through the “RIKUTEC RECYCLING-SERVICE”, our used drums and poly IBC’s will in future be taken back after five years of usage. Subsequently, these will be used in our standardised recycling process in the form of regranulate made from them for the production of hollow bodies.
