Shaping the Future
Living Sustainability
With Responsibility & Foresight
Solutions for environmentally friendly products and processes
For Zell Materials Engineering Plastics, sustainability is more than just a buzzword – it is a central part of our corporate philosophy. Responsible interaction with resources, people, animals, and our environment is at the core of everything we do. Because only through conscious decisions and actions can we secure a livable future – for our customers, partners, and the generations to come.

Our 3 Strategic Pillars
for sustainable technical plastics
)
Waste Avoidance
& Resource Conservation
Waste Avoidance
& Resource Conservation
Consistent waste prevention by reducing to what is truly needed (cut-to-size, pre-confectioning, etc.). Conserving resources in production.
)
Recycling
of offcuts and residual materials
Recycling
of offcuts and residual materials
Both within our company and together with our partners, we develop cycles to profitably reuse valuable materials.

Biobased Materials
The Better Alternative
Biobased Materials
The Better Alternative
We develop alternative material solutions based on renewable raw materials.

Waste Avoidance
Efficiency from the Very Beginning
Engineering plastics from Zell Materials stand for durability and performance.
From the very beginning of production, we focus on sustainability – reducing energy and resource consumption wherever possible.
Through our customer-specific manufacturing, we minimize material waste already during the production of semi-finished products. Less waste not only means lower costs for our customers but also a significantly improved CO₂ footprint. Going forward, we will implement this principle even more consistently – with our own Competence Center for Recycling & Sustainability.

Circularity
Recycling in two dimensions
We foster two ways of recycling:
Mechanical Recycling:Plastic residues are reused for new semi-finished products without altering the molecular structure – energy-efficient and material-conserving.
Chemical Recycling: Together with partners such as BASF, we are developing new PA6 types from chemically recycled feedstocks that retain 100% of the original’s technical properties – delivering top performance with maximum sustainability.
These technologies are already partly in use and are being continuously expanded.

Biobased Materials Innovation from Nature
Zell Materials continuously invests in the development of innovative materials based on renewable raw materials – for example, a bio-based plastic that combines excellent technical properties with sustainable origin. Depending on the formulation, it can replace non-degradable plastics and contribute to environmentally friendly disposal at the end of the product life cycle.
