GCR’s recycling plant
As one of Europe’s most advanced mechanical recycling plants, GCR’s facility processes 100,000 metric tons per year of post-consumer material, including 80,000 tons of rigid and 20,000 tons of flexible polyolefins.
GCR Recycling Plant.
The plant integrates state-of-the-art sorting, washing, and compounding technology, low-energy processing, and a closed-loop water purification system, making it one of the most resource-efficient operations in the industry.
Additionally, GCR’s recycling plant features advanced analytical tools, including gas chromatography systems. This technology enables precise detection of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), NVOCs (non-volatile organic compounds), and other contaminants such as SOIs (substances of interest)—in recycled material streams, ensuring higher material purity, improved consistency, and safer, more reliable recycled products for customers.
