Global recycling of raw materials

Whether it's paper, plastic, metal, refuse-derived fuel or wood – we collect materials from a wide range of waste streams and deliver them to our sorting or processing plants. Many products can be recycled after use through appropriate treatment and recovery methods, so that the raw materials they contain can be returned to the industrial production process.

We trade, transport and market more than 750,000 tons of recycled raw materials around the world every year. We combine these activities for the entire Nehlsen Group in Nehlsen Stoffstrom GmbH & Co. KG. This includes the trade and delivery of various raw materials at the international level, as well as the reliable provision of defined qualities. Our stated goal is to close material cycles – in the sense of holistic material flow management. That is why we offer a cost- and time-efficient complete package. That means: transportation, trade and processing.
