Here, we specialize in producing various plastic products, including polyethylene tubing, plastic profiles, and planting sticks. And the best part? Because we have everything in-house, we can offer you polyethylene tubing at bargain prices. You won’t have to deal with any middlemen taking a large portion of your money. The product is delivered directly from the source.
We are proud of this fact
We take pride in the fact that our products are utilized in numerous sectors across the globe, including construction, greenhouse construction, automotive, marine, and the bicycle industry. Not only do we comply with the strictest European environmental legislation, but we also take an additional step. We strive to work with innovative and sustainably recycled materials as much as possible. It is our way of making the planet a little bit greener.
Our sustainable approach
It likely hasn’t escaped your notice that sustainability is a hot topic lately. At Tuinflex. nl, we have been working for years to make our plastic production as sustainable as possible. Curious about our approach? Here are the 6 steps we take:
Retrieving used products
Do you have "used up" plastics? No problem! You can return them to us free of charge. We recycle the usable material and give it a new life in another product. In this way, we extend the life cycle of the raw material, and you receive a processing statement from us as proof that your company handles waste materials responsibly.
Investing in good recycling infrastructure
We have several grinding mills in-house. With these, we process our own upstream waste and plastic streams from outside our company into high-quality products.
Over 60% guaranteed to be recycled
In 2018, more than 50% of the plastics in our extrusion processes already consisted of recycled material. In 2019, this percentage even increased to 60%. Together with our customers, we strive to further increase this percentage.
Bio-based and compostable plastics
The world of bio-based and compostable plastics is growing rapidly. The processability of these materials has improved enormously in recent years, making them increasingly widely applicable. We, too, are enthusiastic about the possibilities and are constantly exploring new applications.
Separation of industrial waste
By carefully separating our waste streams, we achieved as much as an 85% (!) reduction in our residual waste. In this way, we contribute to achieving a true closed circle of plastic processing.
Use of green energy
We are not only working on making our products green but also on making our energy green. For example, we no longer use natural gas to heat our production site in Ermelo, and all of our energy needs are met through green power.
So, now you know us and our philosophy a little better. Please get in touch with us if you still have questions or want to know more. We’re here to assist you.
And remember, together, we are making the world a little more sustainable with polyethylene tubing from Tuinflex.nl!
