What are recycling buckets?

Environmental and climate protection are key priorities for us – that’s why we consistently use recycled plastic buckets wherever possible and appropriate. These products are made largely from post-consumer recycled material (PCR) collected through the “Yellow Bag” system and can be returned to the same cycle after use.

This way, we close the material loop and significantly reduce the use of fossil resources. Our recycling buckets are available in two variants: Re60 buckets: with 60 % recycled content Re90 buckets: with 90 % recycled content, RecyClass-certified since 2023 All recycling buckets are 100 % recyclable and ideally suited for fertilizers, cleaning agents, paints, and construction chemicals.

In the food and feed sectors, we deliberately use virgin material to ensure maximum product safety and hygiene. Color variations or visible inclusions are a natural result of the recycling process and demonstrate the authentic circular use of materials.
