About PURUS PLASTICS

PURUS PLASTICS GmbH is a recycling company founded in 1994, headquartered in Arzberg (Upper Franconia, Bavaria). The company operates its own plastics processing plant in which films, plastic bags and packaging waste are processed into regranulates. From its own recycled plastics (PE/PP and LD-PE), PURUS PLASTICS manufactures a portfolio of four product lines: ECORASTER ground grids for ground stabilization without sealing (including TE30, TE40, TE50, TS50, E30–E80, Bloxx, X30 as well as accessories such as ground nails, parking space markers, universal angles and the Easy-Fix set), plastic pallets and box systems, cable spools and drums for the cable and wire industry, and ECOgreen green roofing systems. The products are used in various industries, including equestrian sports, forestry and agriculture, landscaping, logistics, flood protection (sponge city) and erosion control. Protection rights exist, among others, as German utility model 202014106285, Polish utility model W.124709, US patent 10094073 and EP patent 3237682.
