MGG Polymers

MGG Polymers produces 100 % Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Plastics from electronic wastes. Founded in 2004 as MBA Polymers Austria, the production started in 2006 and MBA Polymers was immediately recognized as Technology Pioneer 2006 by the World Economic Forum. The Austrian Joint Venture partner Müller-Guttenbrunn Group (MGG) took full ownership of the company in 2017 and renamed the company in MGG Polymers. A quantity of well over 50 000 MT of WEEE plastics is undergoing a high-tech recycling operation resulting in REACH and RoHS compliant Post-Consumer Plastics that can be re-used in new electronic and other tech applications. The plastics types produced by MGG Polymers are ABS, HIPS, PP and PC/ABS. Plastics with banned or restricted substances such Brominated Flame Retardants such as PBDEs or Cadmium compounds are separated, removed and destroyed for environmental protection. The recycled REACH and RoHS compliant tech plastics represent a huge environmental benefit, as a specialized Life Cycle Analysis showed. Saving some 90 % of energy and over 4 MT of CO2 emissions per MT of recycled plastics compared to virgin material, each employee of MGG Polymers saves in average the equivalent of 1000 MT of CO2 emissions compared to virgin material. MGG Polymers therefore is a huge contributor for the Circular Economy. The Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) plastics produced by MGG Polymers are used for “green” electronic products such as vacuum cleaners, coffee machines and so forth as well as for other tech applications
