Re-Plast

What Re-Plast does

RE-PLAST Slovensko s.r.o. is a Slovak polyethylene recycling company that converts post-consumer and post-industrial plastic waste into high-quality regranulate for European film and extrusion manufacturers. Founded in 1992 by Ján Krčula st. and now led by the second generation under co-CEOs Ján Krčula ml. and Matej Krčula, the company is headquartered in Zvončín, Slovakia, with an annual production capacity exceeding 10,000 tonnes and more than three decades of operating history. The site holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and RecyClass certifications that support traceability and compliance with EU brand-owner recycled-content requirements.

The production backbone is built around EREMA extrusion lines with dual automatic filtration and Lindner washing technology, producing a regranulate range organized into three commercial tiers — Premium, Balanced, and Cost-Smart — designed to match different downstream application and price-point needs, with batch-level QC and homogenization. The portfolio extends across LDPE, HDPE, and LLDPE grades, broadening the addressable application set within extrusion and film manufacturing.

Commercially, RE-PLAST runs a B2B sales-led model with quote-based pricing (no public list prices), a 5-tonne minimum order, and standard 23.5-tonne truckload deliveries capable of reaching most European customers within 48 hours from its Central European base. Its customer base is described generically as European film manufacturers and extruders in Germany, France, and Central Europe, with no named anchor accounts disclosed. Forbes Slovakia has featured the company in its SME coverage, noting "million-euro revenues." The business is entirely self-funded, family-owned, and has disclosed no external funding rounds, acquisitions, or divestitures.

Core offering

RE-PLAST manufactures and sells premium-quality polyethylene (PE) regranulates produced from post-consumer and industrial PE waste. Operating a recycling facility in Slovakia, the company processes waste film into clean flakes, washes them via high-energy wash lines, and extrudes them through EREMA lines with dual automatic filtration. Output is homogenized in 23.5-tonne batches and sold in three tiers (Premium, Balanced, Cost-Smart) for use in film blowing, extrusion of pipes and profiles, and other plastic manufacturing applications across Europe.

Product overview

Re-Plast offers a tiered portfolio of polyethylene regranulate products organized into three solution lines: Premium Solution (high-spec regranulates with tight tolerances and lab-verified quality), Balanced Solution (mid-tier offering stability and cost control), and Cost-Smart Solution (economical grades for applications with wider tolerances). Within these tiers, the company offers specific material grades including r-LDPE Natural, r-LDPE Grey-Black, r-LDPE Grey-Green Translucent, r-LLDPE Natural, and r-LDPE Colormix. All products are manufactured using EREMA & LINDNER processing technology with homogenized batches and ISO 9001/14001 & RecyClass certification.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• EREMAcoreTechnology or IntegrationEREMA is the primary recycling equipment provider for RE-PLAST's extrusion lines. RE-PLAST uses EREMA technology with dual automatic filtration for producing ultra-pure regranulates. This partnership provides the core processing capability that enables RE-PLAST's quality differentiation.
• LindnercoreTechnology or IntegrationLindner provides washing and recycling line technology that RE-PLAST uses in its production process. The partnership enables high-energy washing that removes contaminants (wood, metals, dust, labels) from plastic flakes before extrusion.
