ABOUT US

General-Industries Deutschland GmbH (GID) has been passionately involved in the processing and recycling of plastics for over 30 years. At two locations - Kassel and Eschwege - and with a large number of partner companies, General-Industries uses innovative systems to produce high-quality recycled pellets for the plastics processing industry (raw material manufacturers, compounders, plastics processors). As the European market leader in foam recycling (EPP/EPE), we work across Europe for our suppliers of waste from the automotive and packaging industries. 

Since 2023, we have continued to operate both business divisions (Foam & Non-Foam) as independent companies. FOAM recycling continues to be managed by General-Industries Deutschland GmbH (GID) and NON-Foam recycling was transferred to the subsidiary General-Industries Polymere GmbH (GIP), which was founded in 2017. 



For us - GID and GIP - plastics recycling is not a job, but a mission to which we are committed as a family business. That is why we not only grind and granulate plastics, but have also been involved in the separation of difficult-to-recycle composite materials (multi-component parts) for several years and are constantly developing this further. This is the only way we can reuse the valuable raw materials in new products for the plastics processing industry for as long as possible. For us, sustainability is not just a word we make up.
