Globalization and the "China boom”, oil price hikes and growing consumption of packaging and other disposable items are putting enormous pressure on the world's resources. As a result, waste streams are becoming extremely valuable and offer recyclers promising returns. At the same time, governments across the globe are seeing a shortage of resources and the need for responsible and sustainable waste management.

DKSH Australia, working with world leaders in recycling and plastics machinery, recognized the opportunities created by this situation in time to develop the Plastics and Recycling Business Line, which supplies recycling technologies to industry. The aim was to utilize the synergies from our existing textiles, packaging and processing business and either offer customers new technologies or reach a new customer base from a profitable market position, building a product portfolio with high synergies that also allows technological and cultural gaps to be bridged for customers and suppliers alike.

Thanks to fruitful partnerships with market leaders like Erema from Austria, DKSH's recycling business has seen good growth. Erema is the world leader in plastics recycling machinery and their professional dedication to reliable technologies is well-known in the industry. This was proved by their determination to offer innovative and robust recycling solutions which resulted in excellent support for the business development efforts of DKSH Australia.

Exciting opportunities have opened up for reclaiming resources in waste streams and we are well positioned to support the growing demand from the Australian industry to supply innovative, reliable and efficient recycling technologies.
