Our company<\/h2>

General Industries Polymere GmbH (GIP) was founded in 2017 as a subsidiary of General Industries Deutschland GmbH (GID) with a focus on rigid plastic recycling from load carriers. Although still relatively young, GIP has had the same passion for recycling and the circular economy as GID for 30 years.
\nSince 2023, we have been managing the two business divisions (foam & non-foam) as independent companies. Foam recycling continues to be managed by General-Industries Deutschland GmbH (GID) and non-foam recycling has been transferred to General-Industries Polymere GmbH (GIP).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>[vc_btn title=”Company history” align=”center” css_animation=”left-to-right” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fgi-polymere.de%2Fen%2Fabout-us%2Fcompany-history%2F|title:Company%20history|”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6″][vc_single_image image=”3918″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css_animation=”right-to-left”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row center_row=”yes”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-12 vc_col-md-12″ el_class=”section-spacing-1024″]

GIP closes the loop<\/h2>

Our \u201cGIP-way to zero\u201d:
\nThe film shows how General Industries Polymere contributes to the circular economy and climate neutrality with its work as a recycling and plastics operating company. We produce unmixed, color-sorted regrind from load carriers from the automotive industry and logistics, as well as plastic waste from production. A recyclate that can be further processed: a secondary raw material that conserves our planet’s resources.<\/p>\n

\nEvery hard-working hand counts. From our production employees who grind the crates and load the machines to the truck driver, the administrative staff for the handover or the employee in the laboratory.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The film clearly shows our focus on non-foam recycling. Modern machines for stationary shredding, innovative separation technology, container cleaning and mobile shredding systems are all part of GIP-ways’ diversity.
\nWe are already entering the Green Deal – why wait for 2030? Are you also ready for the GIP-way?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row center_row=”yes”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-12 vc_col-md-12″ el_class=”section-spacing-1024″]

That’s why we not only grind and granulate plastics, but have also been involved in the separation of difficult-to-recycle composite materials (multi-component parts) for several years and are continually developing this further.<\/p>\n

This is the only way we can use the valuable raw materials in new products in the plastics processing industry for as long as possible. For us, sustainability is not a word that we just commit ourselves to, we live it every day. So it is only natural for us to rely 100% on the use of renewable energies – both in administration and production.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Our philosophy” tab_id=”1714039718359-b3fed2e4-024f”][vc_column_text]GIP-way to zero
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Our specialty is pure and perfectly colour-sorted regrind, and we produce up to 6,000 tons per year of a wide variety of plastic types and colors! Behind the non-foam material lies a lot of recyclable plastic diversity that contributes to meaningful added value in the circular economy. We are entering the Green Deal now – why wait for 2030?
\nWe want to grow and continue to develop with our goals. We want to involve as many stakeholders as possible in our holistic approach – from customers, partners and buyers to every employee.
\nThere are many ways to achieve these goals. GIP goes one of them.<\/p>\n

Are you ready for the GIP-way<\/em>?[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What we do” tab_id=”1714039746149-c510746b-648a”][vc_column_text]NON-FOAM<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our focus is on non-foam recycling: this is recycling of production waste & logistics containers, stationary shredding, innovative separation technology, container cleaning, mobile shredding plants, marketing of regranulates (PCR\/PIR).<\/p>\n

We process a wide variety of production residues\/waste into regrinds or regranulates. These include start-up lumps of all sizes, missing parts, punching waste and injection-molded parts with a focus on the automotive industry:<\/p>\n
