WEEE recycler Coolrec, a subsidiary of waste-to-product organisation Renewi, has been shortlisted for the prestigious Plastics Recycling Awards Europe 2021 with ROCKEEES, a sustainable toy made from plastics from discarded fridges.

Coolrec, a subsidiary of the waste-to-product company Renewi, continues to invest millions in innovative separation techniques to further support the high-quality recycling of metals and plastics.

Coolrec supplies Coolstar to Salentijn, to produce ‘consumption coins’. A proud cooperation!!

With the signing of the IRBC-covenant ‘Responsible Gold’ the Dutch gold-sector is committing itself to promoting responsible business conduct throughout the international gold supply chain. The covenant is a joint effort of a broad coalition of government, jewelers, recyclers, smelters, civil society organizations and gold smiths.

Coolrec, a Renewi subsidiary, has reopened its Recydel site in Liege, Belgium. At the site the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) recycler reprocesses discarded electronic and electrical equipment into valuable secondary raw materials – over 25,000 tonnes of metals and 13,000 tonnes of plastics per year.

Certification of the RDE site in Baumholder, Germany means that all Coolrec sites are now certified to WEEELABEX standards.

Coolrec, a subsidiary of Van Gansewinkel, is today opening its new Coolrec Plastics Compounding plant in Emmen.
