Hamburger Recycling Hungary Kft. is putting a unique machine line into operation in Hungary. The technology opens up the possibility of recycling industrial strapping tapes that are widely used in logistics, which has not been possible in our country until now. The new managing director of the company, which is 30 years old this year, has set the goal of processing roughly 3,000 tons of this type of PET or PP-based waste in the first year after its launch.

Since China stopped importing waste in 2018, the industrial strapping tapes used for packaging and transportation in Europe are mostly going to landfills and underground. At the initiative of Hamburger Recycling Hungary Kft., one of the Hungarian subsidiaries of the Austrian Prinzhorn Group, which handles a large part of residential selective waste in Budapest, it will soon be possible to integrate this type of waste into the circular economy, because the company has set up a necessary, modern machine line in Lőrinci.
