The plastics recycling specialist B-Plast 2000 is about to expand further
The plastics recycling company based in the East Frisian town of Aurich is about to expand its operations further. The expansion of further production capacities is planned for 2022.
The construction of two production and storage halls, each 2,500 m² in size, as well as the construction of the corresponding loading and unloading facilities and other production facilities is planned. The internationally active company will build the twelfth and thirteenth hall for the further and deeper refinement of high-quality plastic granules and compounds.
The commissioning of the production lines is scheduled for the end of 2022.
"In order to meet the increased demand for our products in full service, we plan to hire more staff in addition to expanding capacity," says Managing Director Stefan Bohlen.
Furthermore, a neighboring hall complex will be integrated into the structure of the recycling company. The planned expansion of an additional 3,500 m² will also take place in 2022.
In connection with the integration, the company premises will increase to 8.1 hectares, of which 25,000 m² is hall space.
The total investment at the Schirum site amounts to around 6 million euros and, according to information from the management, is being made benevolently, since the city administration of Aurich and politicians recently spoke out against the introduction of the rainwater fee and against the increase in other taxes.
The economic location of Aurich and the significant increase in local medium-sized companies in the Schirum industrial and commercial area is the result of a business-friendly city policy.
B-Plast 2000 is a global supplier of plastic raw materials and has specialized in the recycling of production residues from European plastics manufacturers and processing companies.
Today, the international polymer supplier employs 100 people and continuously supplies customers in 41 countries on 4 continents.

B-Plast 2000 faces further expansion and receives "Certificate for Sustainability"
The plastics recycling company based in the East Frisian town of Aurich is about to expand its operations further.
The construction of another 1,600 m² production and storage hall, as well as the construction of the corresponding loading and unloading facilities and a new production plant are planned for 2021. The internationally active company will build the twelfth hall for the further and deeper refinement of high-quality plastic granules and compounds.
Furthermore, a project for the construction of a PV system for the company's own energy supply is planned on the hall roofs. The globally active supplier of plastic raw materials is thus able to generate 25% of its electricity consumption itself for the time being and also saves around 550 tons of CO² emissions per year.
The goal for the next few years is also to be able to generate a large part of the electricity consumption ourselves. “This makes our recycling solutions and products even greener.
