Success Story | Steinbeis PolyVert

🤖 Innovation Through AI

Steinbeis PolyVert integrates artificial intelligence for advanced sorting, anomaly detection, and process optimization, enabling recovery rates above 90% of pre-sorted plastic waste, even in complex multi-layer materials.

🏭 High-Tech Investment Fuels Growth

• A total of €50 million invested in the Völkermarkt (Austria) site, including €36 million in a new polyolefin recyclate line alone.

• The new line—internal codename “the foal”—is capable of processing up to 5 tonnes of plastic per hour, with annual production expected to exceed 50,000 tonnes of high-quality recyclates.

🛡️ Quality & Food-Safety Standards

Its recycling process—based on the VACUNITE (Erema + Polymetrix SSP V‑LeaN) technology—has been recognized by EFSA as capable of producing food-grade recycled PET at 100% usage, underlining its compliance with EU regulatory standards for food contact materials.
