Ecotour Morssinkhof Plastic Recycling
Today we went to visit Morssinkhof Plastics in Heerenveen. This is one of the branches of Morssinkhof - Rymoplast, which has been the pioneer in plastic recycling and is now one of Europe's largest producers of high-quality recovered raw materials. The family company serves the European market, ranging from small companies in the plastics processing industry to the world's largest multinationals such as IKEA.
Lars van Zutphen and Bob Morssinkhof gave us a presentation about the company's history, vision, strategy and mission in the field of plastic recycling. During the tour, we got to see all the different stages of recycling including a sorting process, pulverizing, washing and the final product (plastic recyclate). Thank you for this fun and especially educational day. I think it is very powerful that this Dutch company plays a major role in creating a closed plastic cycle and realizes this by using sustainable sources, such as solar energy and smart reuse of rainwater. As a result, less CO2 is emitted and plastic is no longer useless waste in our world.
Reduce your own ecological footprint by not leaving any waste in nature, separating garbage, handing in empty tripod lessons and choosing sustainable recycled plastic products. Never forget: if we want the world to change in a healthy place with clean oceans, we have to start with changing ourselves!
