The “lean logistics” system - AURORA Kunststoffe GmbH

AURORA transports the sorted waste materials to the milling plants in our own dedicated fleet of vehicles. We operate across three centres, to keep the distances between our customers and suppliers as short as possible. Upon arrival at the site, the materials are thoroughly inspected by specially trained professionals who check for impurities or mixing of materials. High-performance crushing and shredding mills extract dust and detect metals, separating the valuable plastics from metal-containing fragments, material with dual components or different colours, and similar waste parts.

After this thorough inspection, in a first step the plastic residues are ground down. After this, we process the milled material into top-quality re-granulates and re-compounds with the same standard of quality as freshly manufactured products. For this we utilise five compounding machines with the most modern dosing systems and drying technology.

Subject to requirements, we process your collected plastic waste for a fee or we buy the plastic off you for selling on. In each case we collaborate in ensuring a reduction in CO₂ emissions and a saving on the use of crude oil – that comes to a saving of at least 2 kilogrammes of CO₂ per kilo of recycled material and 1.3 litres less crude oil used when compared to the manufacture of brand-new goods.
