Green commitment: Sustainable recycling solutions for a cleaner and climate-friendlier future

Less waste of resources and less waste: recycling plastics makes a significant contribution to protecting the environment. For us, it's not just about recycling, but about a deep commitment to climate protection.

We shape the future

The goal of Source One Plastics GmbH is active environmental and climate protection. The one hundred percent recycling of plastics is the key to a more sustainable use of resources - and the central concern of all employees at Source One Plastics.

Instead of incineration, plastic waste is returned to the recycling cycle in order to protect people, the climate, the environment and products. We are continuously developing our technologies and transferring our advanced recycling concept to other sites to enable a comprehensive circular economy.

Joint venture - We rely on strong cooperation

A network of trustworthy partners is important to accelerate the development of the infrastructure for a global closed-loop economy. This is the goal of Source One Plastics GmbH, a joint venture between 23 Oaks Investment GmbH and the chemical company LyondellBasell-Industries.

Through financial and operational investments in sustainable companies in the plastics industry, 23 Oaks Investments GmbH promotes the strategic combination of expertise, vision and experience to provide optimal solutions for the recycling of a wide range of plastic packaging.

In addition to building a value network, LyondellBasell focuses on various other measures to reduce plastic waste, including the production of polymers from renewable raw materials and mechanically recycled materials.

"Cooperation across the entire value chain is necessary in order to collect plastic waste from sources that do not currently end up in recycling."
Matthijs Beijk // Vice President EMEAI Feedstock & Mechanical Recycling at Lyondell Basell

Eicklingen as a location for the circular economy 4.0

Source One Plastics relocates its headquarters to Eicklingen and builds the most efficient recycling and sorting plant in Europe. Research and development on site contribute to the continuous improvement and direct application of the latest technologies in the circular economy.

The relocation of the Source One Plastics headquarters to Eicklingen and the operation of the plant there will create up to 30 new jobs for the Celle region.

Due to its central location and good transport links to the B214 and A2, Eicklingen offers ideal conditions to ensure smooth transport and delivery processes and to supply customers promptly.

In addition, with the local wind farm and the nearby biogas plant, Eicklingen meets the requirements for operating the plant and associated buildings with locally generated energy in an environmentally and climate-friendly manner.

"We are proud that an innovative company with globally active partners from the recycling industry is settling here in Eicklingen."
Jörn Schepelmann // Mayor of Eicklingen
