About us
We make impact
By challenging virgin plastics
We make impact in the most sustainable way. We want to be a frontrunner in the global challenge of making plastic packaging circular.
We sell high-grade plastic recyclate
We sell high-grade PP, HDPE and PET recyclate to packaging manufacturers and other users of plastics. We also inspire brands to switch to packaging-to-packaging recycling.
We inspire brands
By using our high-grade plastic recyclate, brands can create new products more sustainably. They can also incorporate the use of 100% recycled plastic in their messaging. This reinforces loyalty amongst consumers who increasingly want to buy from responsible brands.
Mission
By sharing our knowledge and making our Magnetic Density Separation system available, we make it possible to recycle all consumer plastic waste in the world. This recycled raw material (recyclate) will be available to buyers of virgin plastics.
Vision
The amount of plastic produced worldwide has an enormous carbon footprint. This seriously threatens our planet’s climate. There is already so much plastic in the world that can be reused as raw material that the production of virgin fossil based plastics is no longer necessary.

We are innovative professionals
Our scientific mindset drives us to constantly improve the plastic recycling chain. Umincorp’s R&D department continuously optimizes our Magnetic Density Separation process. It also creates new technologies. We are currently developing deep flake sorting technology for small plastic particles. This will enable us to further increase our recovery rates, provide even higher-grade products and meet customer specific colour requirements. Our aim is to produce recycled plastics for specific polymer applications. Examples include extrusion-grade HDPE and blow-mould-grade HDPE.
