From recycling to quality
74,5% of all GARANTIA products are made from Upcyclen (= our own recycled material). This material is produced in the GRAF Competence Centre for Raw Materials, for example from plastic waste from the yellow bag. This means that disposable packaging is turned into long-lasting environmental products. The Competence Centre combines multiple process steps with new plant technologies to form an integrated process chain. Its pioneering technology makes the plant the only one of its kind in the world. With this, we make an important contribution to the recycling of plastic waste.
With our innovative ideas, we also convinced the Federal German Ministry of Economics and Technology. The Federal Government supported the project as part of the Environmental Innovation Programme, which aims to promote the use of new technologies and the setting up of production plants that can serve as role models.
Thermolen® – The new and innovative premium material
Thermolen® is an innovative premium material specifically developed for use in composters. Thermolen® is foamed, creating highly insulating product walls. This allows the generated heat to remain inside the composter more effectively, thereby accelerating the composting process.
Thermolen® is manufactured from recycled polypropylene (PP) and can be returned to the circular economy at the end of its service life.
Durable and recyclable
During product development at GARANTIA, we place special emphasis on a long service life and a design that is appropriate for the material used. At the end of their service life, the plastics used can be recycled, depending on the product, material, and available disposal and recycling options.
Green Planet Collection
The Green Planet collection brings together GARANTIA products that incorporate recycled materials. The range includes products for gardening and rainwater harvesting, as well as highly durable components for landscaping and civil engineering applications.
The proportion of recycled material varies depending on the product and its technical requirements. Selected products contain up to 100% recycled material.
