What Replas Recycling Plastics does

Replas Recycling Plastics Sp. z o.o. is a Polish private limited company founded in 2012 that manufactures modified HDPE (high-density polyethylene) and PP (polypropylene) re-granulates from post-consumer and post-production plastic waste. The company is headquartered and produces from a single facility in Rozniatow 4, 37-205 Zarzecze, in the Podkarpackie region of Poland, and operates a commercial office (Biuro Handlowe) at An der Walkmühle 2 in Essen, Germany, to serve German and broader European customers. The company employs 11-50 staff across production, logistics, marketing/sales, HR, and executive functions, including President of the Management Board Georg Bröker (Germany-based) and Prokurents Andrzej Kubik and Wiesława Baron.

Replas's core technology is proprietary "enrichment recycling"—in-house modification recipes that restore and enhance the rheological and mechanical properties of recycled polyolefins, deliberately rejecting conventional down-grading recycling. The product portfolio comprises seven specialized re-granulate grades: HDPE 100K, 100B, 7525UB, 100A, 100AP, and 8020UR, plus PP 100P, serving injection molding (large elements, small elements/galanteria, high-strength parts), extrusion (protective and installation pipes, thin-walled pipes, colored profiles), and blow molding applications. Beyond products, Replas offers toll re-granulation with sieve filtration down to 100 μm, washing and cleaning, optical sorting, MFI/property modification, and custom RAL color matching.

The business model is direct B2B sales of re-granulates and processing services to European plastic product manufacturers, with no intermediary resellers or distributors identified. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company holds EuCertPlast certification (one of only two holders in Poland and the sole holder for HDPE re-granulates), Blue Angel-eligible status for downstream customers, and RecyClass certification. Marketing is conducted via a bilingual (Polish/German) sales team led by named personnel Damian Kuras and Svitlana Smirnova, supplemented by trade conferences (e.g., Ministry of Climate and Environment EkoSfera), community educational initiatives (RECYKLING + EDUKACJA / REC-EDU), and a multilingual corporate website. On October 31, 2025, the Management Boards of Replas and Carpatia Invest Sp. z o.o. agreed on a merger plan, the terms of which are documented in a published Merger Plan.

Core offering

Replas Recycling Plastics manufactures and sells modified re-granulates of HDPE (high-density polyethylene) and PP (polypropylene) produced from post-consumer and post-production plastic waste. Using proprietary "enrichment" modification recipes, the company restores rheological and mechanical properties of recycled plastics so they can substitute virgin materials in injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding applications. The company also offers toll re-granulation, washing/cleaning, optical sorting, and custom coloring services to plastic product manufacturers across Europe.

Product overview

Replas Recycling Plastics is a manufacturer of modified HDPE (high-density polyethylene) and PP (polypropylene) re-granulates. The company operates a portfolio of specialized re-granulate products for both injection molding and extrusion applications, including HDPE grades (100K, 100B, 7525UB, 100A, 100AP, 8020UR) and PP grade (100P). These products are produced through 'enhancing recycling' processes that restore and modify the physicochemical properties of post-consumer and post-production plastic waste to match or exceed original material specifications. In addition to the core re-granulate products, the company offers complementary services including re-granulation with screen filtration, washing and cleaning of regrinds, optical sorting, and custom coloring/pigmentation.
