Operations at Source One Plastics' recycling plant in Eicklingen restarted on 8 July 2026, six months after a fire disrupted activities. The facility has undergone renovations costing about 20 million euros, allowing for improved processing of 3D regrind by color and material purity.
Full operational capacity is anticipated by November 2026. The rebuilt plant maintains the original design but incorporates advancements in automation and digitalization for enhanced quality and reduced emissions.
Dr Oliver Krahn has been appointed managing director, with Kai Hoyer transitioning to an advisory role. The reconstruction is supported by former construction partners familiar with the site.
