Mission and Values:
RIGK's mission is to organize the take-back of plastic packaging comprehensively, efficiently and in a legally compliant manner, thus enabling a sustainable, responsible approach to valuable resources. The focus is on protecting the environment and promoting the circular economy. Many years of experience, technical expertise and close partnerships with industrial companies form the basis for trusting cooperation[4][6].
Sustainability goals and initiatives:
Since its foundation, the company has been committed to a functioning circular economy that optimizes the recycling of plastic packaging and agricultural products and conserves resources. RIGK continuously invests in the digitalization and expansion of take-back systems and promotes the certification of recyclability and recyclates (e.g. through the PlastCert department). The acquisition of partner companies such as Hannawald Plastik and international expansion demonstrate RIGK's efforts to holistically design sustainable material cycles - from collection to sorting and processing to the marketing of recycled materials. In this way, RIGK makes a significant contribution to environmental protection and a climate-friendly future[2][4][5][7].
RIGK is therefore a key innovator and reliable partner for all those who want to take responsibility for packaging waste and actively contribute to the protection of the environment and natural resources.
