General information
Can the raw materials be recycled again?
Yes, they certainly are. If you take them to the recycling centre, they will be returned to us and given a second life. 100% recycled and recyclable again at the end of their useful life.
We recycle these into new products. That's what we call circular.
Co-creatie als dienst
I have a circular idea. Can Ecoo make it happen?
We love makers who want to get started with our recycled raw material. Depending on the feasibility, technical requirements and production scale of your concept, we will see if there is a match.
What should I take into account with recycled raw materials?
Where there's a will, there's a way. Naturally, recycled raw materials have different properties than “new” plastics, such as thermal expansion, fragility, or thickness. However, by making choices in design, raw materials, and production techniques, we can guarantee consistent quality.
Is the recycled material still visible in the end product?
That depends on your preferred raw material and production technique.
Do you want the different plastics to be visible in your final design? Then choose regrind.
Would you rather have a sleek end product? Then compound pellets are a good choice.

Grondstof - Maalgoed
Is the milled raw material fully recyclable?
The milled raw material can be recycled again after use and is also completely safe for the environment.
Is the milled granule visible in my design?
Yes. You can choose to have the different plastic components show through in the design of your final product.
Is the milled raw material of consistent quality?
The individual components vary in size and color. This means that every batch of milled material is different, making each product unique.
Grondstof - Regranulaat
Is the regranulated material fully recyclable?
Yes, the granules can be recycled after use. This makes Ecoo granules the most sustainable material in our range.
Is regranulate of consistent quality?
Yes, but the chosen filter density plays a major role in this. Choose from three filters (2 mm, 1.2 mm or 0.8 mm), whereby a finer filter also guarantees better quality and purer raw material.
How does Ecoo granulate (regranulate) differ from virgin plastics?
This raw material is made from butter tubs, yoghurt pots and other household plastic waste that has been recycled. No “new” plastics are added to the production process, unlike with virgin plastics. Its properties are also slightly different, which we will be happy to explain in an initial introductory meeting.
