The idea

The basic idea of the Plastic Resale Platform is to facilitate a unique network for the entire plastic industry in the Nordic countries and northern Europe.

Most companies have high valuable materials in stock which might be difficult to find purpose for in the existing production.

Some of these materials even ends up on the landfill or waste stations.

By joining the Plastic Resale Platform, your company will be able to find a sustainable solution for these kind of products - and even experience a good economy.

Your company can upload and sell products that might be unneeded or slow moving.

At the same time it gives your company the possibility to purchase other companies left over materials which might suit your production.

Products might be virgin polymers, scrap, additives, colors or any kind of plastic production waste.

By creating a company profile on the Plastic Resale Platform, your company can look forward saving money, by selling outdated plastic lots or by buying excellent material at reduced prices.
