TheKnot-Group is a company that works intensively with developers, consultants and problem solvers on plastics, plastic waste and the recycling of materials of all kinds. We develop concepts for functioning material cycles. The amount of packaging waste, plastics that are difficult to separate and other waste is a global problem and the collection, sorting and recycling of usable materials is extremely complex. As global recycling professionals, we specialise in solving precisely these challenging tasks and transforming them into circular loops. With new concepts and products, we also help companies and institutions to achieve their sustainability goals more quickly and efficiently.

... to circular economy
And help with the development of new products
Your requirements, the technical framework conditions as well as material availability/procurement and their formulations determine the process on the way to sustainable or circular products. We accompany you every step of the way – from the idea to implementation – including the development and maintenance of global recycling systems.
A good placefor sustainable solutions
In the historic Speicher1 warehouse in the Europahafen in Bremen, right at the harbour head, heads are currently spinning with concepts for responsible business.
Here we are working on breaking global dependencies on manufacturers and raw materials and replacing them with globally available materials from the environment and recycling.
Together with our partner, the Swiss company PHENOGY AG, we are also making our contribution to a grandchildren-friendly future with sustainable battery and energy storage systems. Away from lithium, cobalt and fossil raw materials and towards materials that can be produced locally around the world.
