PureLoop

What PureLoop does

PureLoop GesmbH is an Austrian machinery manufacturer specializing in plastic and textile recycling equipment for industrial in-house production-waste applications. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of EREMA Group GmbH, the world market leader in plastic recycling systems, and operates from its headquarters in Ansfelden, Austria, with a North America trial center in Ipswich, Massachusetts. PureLoop's core product is the ISEC evo (Integrated Shredder Extruder Combination), a shredder-extruder machine that combines a single-shaft shredder and extruder on a shared drive shaft using a patented double feed ram system and a conical transition design. The platform spans models from the entry-level ISEC evo 002 (up to 150 kg/h) to the high-throughput ISEC evo 702 (up to 1,500 kg/h), with specialized variants such as the ISEC evo FibrePro:IV for PET fiber-to-fiber recycling. In October 2025 the company added DynaShape® intelligent automation to the platform, claiming roughly 10% productivity gains.

The business is predominantly a direct enterprise field-sales model supported by dedicated sales managers and a network of regional sales partners, particularly across North America where PureLoop reports 50% of its revenue. Revenue is generated primarily through machine sales, supplemented by recurring service revenue (EREMA Service packages), aftermarket spare parts via the BluPort® e-commerce platform, and paid material-testing engagements at trial centers in Austria and the USA. PureLoop's served segments include injection molding manufacturers, fiber and textile producers, film and packaging manufacturers, and automotive composite suppliers; named customers include Foam Industrial, STABILO International, AREXIM, TenCate Grass, Verpa, and ENGEL. Strategic partnerships — notably with ENGEL, RadiciGroup, Profol, and LIT Factory — extend the application footprint into automotive lightweight composites and textile-to-textile recycling, aligned with EU PPWR and textile-waste regulatory tailwinds. PureLoop's standalone revenue is not disclosed; parent EREMA Group reported EUR 355 million in FY2022/23 across its six subsidiaries.

Core offering

PureLoop designs, manufactures, and sells the ISEC evo (Integrated Shredder Extruder Combination) series of recycling machines that convert clean plastic production waste and textile waste into high-quality recycled pellets. The machines combine a single-shaft shredder and extruder on a shared drive shaft, with throughput capacities ranging from 150 kg/h to over 1,500 kg/h. PureLoop also provides complementary services including material testing at trial centers, EREMA Service support packages, and the BluPort online service and spare parts platform.

Product overview

PURE LOOP offers a focused product portfolio centred on the ISEC evo (Integrated Shredder Extruder Combination) series of plastic recycling machines. The core ISEC evo product line includes multiple models (002, 101 E, 302, 702, FibrePro:IV) ranging from compact units at 150 kg/h capacity to high-throughput systems exceeding 1,500 kg/h. These shredder-extruder combinations process clean production waste into recycled pellets using a patented technology combining single-shaft shredder, double feed ram system, and conical extruder transition. The FibrePro:IV variant targets PET fibre and textile recycling with IV optimisation. Supporting the machine portfolio, PURE LOOP provides the BluPort® online service platform for spare parts ordering and data management, comprehensive EREMA Service packages (telephone support, preventive maintenance, training), and material testing facilities at trial centres in Austria and the USA.

Direct peers

• Vecoplan AG: German manufacturer of shredders and recycling machinery for plastics, wood, and waste. Direct competitor in the size-reduction and pre-conditioning steps that PureLoop's ISEC integrates into its shredder-extruder combination.
• ICMA San Giorgio: Italian supplier of recycling and compounding lines including extrusion-based plastic recycling. Comparable competitor in the post-industrial and post-consumer plastics-recycling machinery category.
• Next Generation Recyclingmaschinen GmbH (NGR): Austrian specialist in plastic-recycling extruders (similar to PureLoop's shredder-extruder architecture); competes head-to-head in post-industrial/clean production waste recycling with comparable throughput positioning.
• Lindner Recyclingtech GmbH: German shredder and recycling-technology specialist serving plastics and waste streams. Comparable on the shredding subsystem that PureLoop has integrated with extrusion; targets the same plastics-recycling customers.
• WEIMA GmbH: German shredding and processing machinery manufacturer; competes on size-reduction technology that sits upstream of PureLoop's extrusion step, addressing the same industrial plastic-recycling customer base.
• AMUT S.p.A. Italian maker of plastic recycling and processing lines, including extrusion-based recycling systems. Comparable offering for downstream converters and recyclers that PureLoop serves in injection molding and films.

Emerging players

• Cumberland (ACS Group): Global supplier of size-reduction equipment (granulators, shredders) for plastics processors. Adjacent competitor on the shredding-side of PureLoop's combined shredder-extruder architecture with strong industrial presence in North America.

Broad incumbents

• Starlinger & Co. Gesellschaft m.b.H. Austrian machinery maker whose 'recycling technology' unit produces plastics-recycling lines. Adjacent competition for film and woven-recycling customers that overlap PureLoop's film/textile-recycling segments.
• EREMA Group GmbH: Parent company and broader plastic-recycling-systems incumbent. While PureLoop handles clean production waste via shredder-extruder combos, EREMA's core business addresses more contaminated streams with preconditioning units — making it the closest internal benchmark and the most natural technology / market comparable.
• ANDRITZ Group (MeWa / Recycling): Large industrial group with a recycling technology division (formerly MeWa) offering shredding and separation equipment. Operates at much broader scale but addresses overlapping recycling-technology buyers and applications.
