What Morssinkhof Rymoplast does

Morssinkhof Rymoplast is a privately held Dutch plastic recycling company founded in 1960 in Lichtenvoorde, Netherlands, and one of Europe's largest producers of high-quality recovered plastic raw materials. The company operates 13 specialized facilities across Europe organized into two business units: Morssinkhof Plastics, focused on rigids (HDPE, PP, PET), and Rymoplast, focused on flexibles (LDPE). Its core technology is Closed Loop Recycling, which converts sorted post-consumer and industrial plastic waste streams into specification-grade recyclates — including regranulate, compounds, micronized particles (maalgoed), and the branded MOPET food-approved PET recyclate — enabling materials to re-enter the same or similar applications.

The company earns revenue across three streams: (1) sale of specification-based recycled raw materials (rPET, rHDPE, rLDPE, rPP, MOPET), (2) purchase and processing of post-consumer and industrial plastic waste streams with custom logistics, and (3) toll processing (loonverwerking) of customer-owned waste, residues, or granules. Distribution is sales-led, with direct enterprise engagement across Europe serving both small plastic processors and global multinationals. Named customers include Coca-Cola European Partners (rPET for transparent food packaging, rLDPE for collation shrink film), Inter IKEA Systems (PCR rPP for HALLBAR, BOLMEN, PLUGGIS; rPET for storage solutions), and Oerlemans (rLDPE e-commerce bags). The company holds EFSA positive scientific opinion for food-contact HDPE and PP materials, plus ISO 9001, BRC, and RecyClass certifications, which underpin its access to regulated packaging end markets. Recent strategic activity includes a new jointly-operated facility in Lommel, Belgium (with Fost Plus) opened in January 2026, and a strategic supply partnership with Ingka Group supporting IKEA's circular economy initiatives.
