The largest sorting plant for plastic waste intended for chemical recycling in Europe – construction has started!
The largest sorting plant for plastic waste intended for chemical recycling in Europe – construction has started!
On November 20, 2023 just 20 days after announcing their partnership, OMV, an integrated energy, fuels and raw materials, chemicals and materials company based in Vienna, and Interzero, Europe’s leading provider of circular solutions, today celebrated the laying of the foundation stone for an innovative sorting plant for plastic waste for chemical recycling in Walldürn in Baden-Württemberg.
The invited guests included personalities representing both the sphere of national and regional politics, as well as partners involved in the project. All event participants emphasized the positive effects of the project, both for the local community and for Europe. This initiative contributed to the creation of 120 new jobs, the development of modern recycling technology and investments by OMV worth over EUR 170 million. Chemical recycling is a key technology of the future that, alongside traditional mechanical recycling, can significantly increase the reuse rate of plastics while protecting valuable raw materials from incineration.
“This project marks the beginning of a new era in plastic recycling. In cooperation with our partner OMV, we use an innovative recycling process that we have developed, which allows us to give a second life to plastics that are currently burned in the chemical recycling process. I am convinced that thanks to chemical recycling, the recycling rate in Germany can increase significantly in the future. This brings us another big step closer to our vision of a world without waste.” – said Axel Schewitzer, President and Owner of Interzero.
This innovative, state-of-the-art waste sorting plant created by Interzero and OMV will be capable of processing 260,000 tons of mixed plastic waste per year.

Interzero and PIOIRO on a common path to implementing the deposit system in Poland
Interzero and PIOIRO on a common path to implementing the deposit system in Poland
At the beginning of 2025, Poland plans to implement a deposit system. Are Polish companies prepared for changes in packaging waste management? The Polish Chamber of Recovery and Recycling of Packaging (PIOIRO), in cooperation with Interzero, a leader in the field of circular economy, aims to ensure the smooth and effective implementation of new regulations for producers of packaged products.
The Polish deposit solution will be different from most European systems, which are usually based on one operator. In Poland, more operators will be possible, and all stores with an area of 200 square meters or more will be obliged to accept returnable packaging (smaller stores will be able to join the system voluntarily).
The Polish Chamber of Recovery and Recycling of Packaging (PIOIRO) and Interzero, with experience in providing ecological services and commitment to promoting the circular economy, will play a key role in the implementation and management of the deposit system in Poland. Their cooperation will contribute to the development of automated collection systems using bottle lockers and a bag system.
As part of the system, PIOiRO and Interzero will be responsible, among others, for: behind:
- achieving the required levels of collection of packaging waste and packaging covered by the deposit system,
- delivery and installation of the selected bottle dispenser
- organization of a bag system (for distributors who do not decide to install bottle dispensers),
- providing an operating system enabling ongoing monitoring of the amount of packaging in the deposit system and financial resources from the deposit,
- preparation of reports,
- ensuring transport of waste from distributors and redistribution centers, in accordance with the requirements of waste regulations,
- processing waste and ensuring the availability of recyclate,
- achieving statutory recycling levels through the appropriate Interzero Packaging Recovery Organization SA or PIOIRO, appropriate for the type of material,
Both organizations are ready for the challenges posed by the deposit system, ensuring that packaging waste management in Poland will be implemented effectively and in the spirit of sustainable development.

Ecological packaging for your product – Made for Recycling and Bambiboo diapers
Ecological packaging for your product – Made for Recycling and Bambiboo diapers
Ecological packaging, using biodegradable and recyclable materials, reduces the negative impact on the environment. By choosing ecological packaging, you support sustainable development and care for the future of our planet. Find out more about how you can get the Made for Recycling certificate from Interseroh+ to confirm your ecological solutions!
Eco-friendly packaging is often designed to minimize the amount of waste generated during production, distribution and use. This reduces the amount of waste going to landfills and the natural environment. Packaging that can be easily recycled encourages consumers to properly dispose of waste and reuse it.
Our client knows this Bambiboo, which received as many as 18 points in the packaging evaluation method Made for Recycling conducted by Interseroh+. This classification is based on a scientific assessment method developed by Interseroh+ together with the bifa Environmental Institute and validated by Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV. Packaging that receives 18-20 points on the research scale is awarded a certificate and the Made for Recycling mark.
Bambiboo demonstrates the good recyclability of its packaging by placing the “Made for Recycling” mark on it. In this way, the company provides its customers with real help in sustainable consumption. After all, recycling valuable materials makes an important contribution to protecting the climate and resources!
If you would like to test your product in terms of environmental friendliness of its packaging, please contact us!

We avoid them because we don’t like seeing them. At the same time, we produce a lot of them every day. Even if we hide them very deep, waste makes itself felt. Can waste be the subject of photography? How to talk about dealing with waste in a wise, responsible and interesting way?
Interzero joins forces with the Museum of Photography in Krakow to talk about the idea of a circular economy and the challenges associated with it. On this occasion, we will take photos to test the possibilities of photography as a visual way of talking about the problems of the modern world and raising awareness of environmental issues.
