Fost Plus has awarded Morssinkhof Rymoplast Group a nine-year contract to recycle 10,500 tonnes of PET trays and 17,000 tonnes of PET bottles annually. The new mechanical recycling plant, MOPET Belgium, will be built in Neufchâteau and will be revolutionary in terms of efficient, large-scale recycling of PET trays. The majority of the recycled material will be used for tray-to-tray applications, while a large part of the PET bottles will be used to produce new bottles. The site in Neufchâteau also offers space for an advanced recycling facility based on Cure Technology, which will enable the production of transparent recycled PET from complex and colored packaging. Morssinkhof Rymoplast Group is investing EUR 30 million in the new plant.

MOPET Belgium, the new mechanical recycling plant that will be built for this purpose in Neufchâteau, will be revolutionary at the European level in terms of efficient, large scale recycling of PET trays. In addition, the majority will be used for a tray-to-tray application. MOPET Belgium will also recycle transparent clear, transparent blue, transparent colored and opaque PET bottles; a large part of which will be used to produce new bottles. The site in Neufchâteau moreover offers us space to build an advanced recycling facility based on Cure Technology. This technology will enable us to produce a transparent recycled PET out of complex and colored packaging, and will ensure that all collected PET packaging will be used in high end applications.
Stefan Morssinkhof: “We are investing EUR 30 million to build this new plant, which will set a new standard in the recycling of complex PET materials such as PET trays and opaque PET bottles. We are proud to be able to extend our activities in PET recycling to Belgium, a recycling center at the heart of Europe”.
