TRADITION MEETS INNOVATION

In the early 1990s, we were ahead of our time. There were only a few companies involved in recycling existing waste streams and the topics of sustainability and recycling were not yet deeply embedded in the public’s consciousness. Today, recycling for the recovery of raw materials has become indispensable and, in addition to reducing the volume of waste, is a key part of a sustainable and responsible approach to dealing with our environment and scarce natural resources.

30 YEARS OF RECYCLING

For 30 years, HAHN Group has been dedicated to putting single-use plastic packaging to good, long-term use through mechanical recycling and helping to increase the recycling rate. From the very beginning, we helped shape the transition from a throwaway society to a responsible circular economy and want to continue contributing to the efficient reuse of existing raw materials as a market leader in the future through innovative recycling.

PROCESSING OF 90,000 TONS

As a globally leading producer of recycled products made from post-consumer plastics, we recycle 90,000 tons of plastic waste annually. Each year, the varied packaging disposed of in the recycling bins is turned into 65,000 tons of hanit, a unique secondary raw material used to manufacture new long-life products.

MORE THAN 2,000 PRODUCTS

Our product portfolio now includes more than 2,000 recycled products that are used in a wide variety of applications. Wherever high standards are required in terms of the load-bearing capacity and resilience of the material, hanit recycled plastic impresses with its special properties. The footbridge on the beach promenade, the seat in the city park, or the cable tray system in the railway network – there are quite a few things that are made out of hanit. We are constantly adding new products and new application areas because our goal is to develop our range in line with the needs of our customers and to offer them maximum quality and functionality. For this reason, we are also developing tailor-made industry solutions for individual customer projects as an experienced project partner.

SEVEN SITES WORLDWIDE

As an international company, we are currently represented worldwide in seven locations. In total, over 500 employees belong to the HAHN Group. At its headquarters in Germany which is over 69.2 acres, every step of the process is completed, from the selection of recyclable materials to production, and it forms the heart of the Group with over 400 employees. The Group’s subsidiaries are based in England, France, Canada, Italy, Spain and USA.
