plasticpreneur

plasticpreneur is an Austrian startup dedicated to inspiring and empowering people, communities, and organizations to create a better future. The company aims to promote the transition from a linear (take-make-dispose) to a circular economy and achieve social, ecological, and economic impacts. The focus is on the interaction between people, the environment, and the systems in which we live[1][2][4].

plasticpreneur develops, produces, and distributes small, lightweight, and mobile plastic recycling machines as well as injection and extrusion molds. These machines enable the conversion of plastic waste directly on-site into valuable products. The process includes collecting, sorting, washing, and shredding the plastic waste, further processing the flakes using injection molding and extrusion machines, and finally shaping the end products[1][3][5].

The company is committed to advancing the circular economy worldwide. plasticpreneur has already exported machines to over 90 countries and collaborates with a variety of customers, including educational institutions, science centers, artist workshops, and even international companies like BMW. Their solutions help reduce plastic waste in countries without government waste disposal systems and support local initiatives that create new jobs[2][4][5].

plasticpreneur is part of the EREMA Group, a leading provider of industrial plastic recycling solutions, which gives the company access to extensive know-how and expertise. Their machines are used in diverse applications, from producing rulers and slide rules in Uganda to manufacturing surfboard fins in France and plastic animals as keychains in the Galapagos Islands[1][2][5].

The company is also engaged in education and vocational training. plasticpreneur offers training and educational programs to promote careers in the plastic recycling industry and support social entrepreneurship. These initiatives help create decent work and employment in structurally weak regions[4][5].

plasticpreneur has rapidly gained growth and recognition, particularly through the development of innovative solutions such as the production of face shield headpieces during the Corona crisis. The company has already received several awards, including the Social Impact Award and the Trigos Award 2021 in the category of Social Entrepreneurship[2][4].

With their commitment to sustainability, innovation, and social responsibility, plasticpreneur sets standards in the plastic recycling industry and makes a significant contribution to creating a circular economy.
