Core offering

MGG Polymers manufactures and sells 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) polymer granules — ABS, PS, PP (unfilled and filled grades) and PC/ABS — produced from mixed plastic waste recovered from Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The recycled polymers are REACH and RoHS compliant, qualify as drop-in replacements for virgin materials in tech applications, and are sold directly to electronics manufacturers, OEMs and durable-goods producers across Europe.

Product overview

MGG Polymers is a plastic recycling company that produces 100% Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) polymers from Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The company operates one of the world's most advanced plastics recycling facilities in Kematen/Ybbs, Austria, with a capacity of 50,000 tonnes per year. The product portfolio consists of four core polymer product lines: MGG ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene), MGG PS (Polystyrene), MGG PP (Polypropylene), and MGG PCABS (Polycarbonate/ABS blend). These polymers are produced in various grades with different properties (flow characteristics, impact resistance, thermal resistance) and are sold as granules for use in durable goods, electronic devices, automotive equipment, and 'green' products. The manufacturing process involves sorting, separation, extrusion, and compounding of mixed plastic waste into high-quality recycled polymers that serve as drop-in replacements for virgin materials.

Products and services

• MGG ABS 100% Post-Consumer Recycled Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) copolymer granules for general and high-impact tech applications. Available in multiple grades (7400, 7500, 7513, 7515) with different flow properties, impact resistance and UL-certified RTI values up to 95°C. Sold as drop-in replacement for virgin ABS to electronics manufacturers and OEMs.
• MGG PS 100% Post-Consumer Recycled Polystyrene (PS) granules in impact-modified (grades 3300, 2400) and flame-retardant (grade 4315) variants, with UL 94 HB certified options for fire-safety applications. Sold to electronics and appliance manufacturers as a sustainable alternative to virgin PS.
• MGG PP (filled and unfilled) 100% Post-Consumer Recycled Polypropylene (PP) granules including unfilled grades (3500, 4200, 6200) and filled grades with mineral fillers — PP-K (calcium carbonate), PP-T (talcum), PP-MF (mineral fillers) and PP-GF (glass fiber). Post-consumer content ranges from 95-100%. Sold to appliance, electronics and automotive manufacturers as a drop-in for virgin PP.
• MGG PCABS 100% Post-Consumer Recycled Polycarbonate/ABS blend granules in easy-flow grades (7600, 6700) with high impact resistance. Sold to telecommunications, IT hardware, household appliance, construction and automotive manufacturers as a drop-in replacement for virgin PC/ABS.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• CarbonLite: PCR PET bottle-to-bottle recycler; comparable as a scale mechanical recycler producing food-grade recycled polymer for brand owners, though focused on PET rather than WEEE-derived engineering plastics.
• Plastic Energy: Chemical recycling company converting mixed and contaminated plastics (including WEEE-adjacent streams) into pyrolysis oils for new polymer production — competes for OEM recycled-content budgets against MGG's mechanical approach.

Broad incumbents

• Covestro: Major polycarbonate and ABS/PC-blend producer with active programs in recycled and circular plastics; competes for high-spec electronics OEM resin specifications that MGG's PCR PC-ABS also targets.
• REMONDIS: One of Europe's largest private recycling and waste services groups with WEEE and plastics recycling operations; relevant as a downstream competitor and potential upstream feedstock partner.
• Eastman Chemical: Major specialty plastics and chemical-recycling incumbent (including its molecular recycling for PET and mixed plastics); competes indirectly for recycled-content mandates in electronics and consumer goods.
• Veolia: Global environmental services and WEEE management incumbent operating collection, sorting, and recycling infrastructure across Europe; overlaps with MGG in the WEEE plastics value chain.
• INEOS Styrolution: Global styrenics producer (ABS, SAN, PS) and a direct competitor in the markets where MGG sells PCR ABS and PS, including electronics and appliances.

Direct peers

• MBA Polymers Inc. The original JV partner from which MGG Polymers was founded; both companies run mechanical recycling of WEEE plastics into PCR engineering polymers (ABS, PC, PP, HIPS). Direct comparable in feedstock, process, and end-markets.
• APK AG: German plastics recycler using solvent-based Newcycling technology to recover polyolefins and multilayer packaging; overlaps with MGG in producing high-purity PCR resins for packaging and durable applications.

Regional players

• Grupa Azoty / Recycler compounds (e.g., Repaq): European recyclate compounders producing PCR polyolefins and engineering plastics from post-consumer streams; competing regional supplier of recycled granules to European molders and OEMs.
