ULRICH KOSSIN COMPANY FOUNDER HAHN KUNSTSTOFFE Many people are fascinated to hear about Ulrich Kossin's path of life, being expelled from his home in Silesia the age of 7 with his family and having to start all over with "nothing". The state school pupil managed to build an internationally operating business, which is now a global leader in the world of plastic recycling. Ulrich Kossin was a pioneer with intelligence. He began his career as a self-employed tax consultant in Vreden, Westfalia. The creation of products, however, has always fascinated him. The introduction of the German...

hanit® Recycled Products | Guaranteed Quality TOOL SELECTION SAWING & CUTTING High-speed band saws and circular saws with slightly crossed teeth, preferably carbide-tipped, produce the best finish. Quickly remove any shavings to avoid smearing the plastics. Lengths can also be shortened using a chainsaw, however, it is necessary to consider a loss of accuracy. The span cross-section should be as large as possible to keep the machining heat relatively low. Depth of cut and feed rate should be high, the cutting speed on the other hand low. To increase the tool life, we recommend using routers...

hanit® products can be processed as necessary with conventional tools and machinery used in wood and metal processing. However, due to the properties of the material, some specific features must be considered: » In general, machining of profiles causes higher tool wear. We therefore recommend the use of carbide-tipped tools. » Recycled products have a closed surface. The core may have a honeycomb structure, which becomes visible during machining. This is due to the material properties. » Some hanit® products are reinforced with steel. You can recognise these by the note "with reinforcement"...

TALKING ABOUTRECYCLING Preconceptions can be persistent: "Eventually, it will all be burnt anyway." or "Why separate waste if it all ends up in the same place in the end". In reality, recyclable packaging waste will be recycled. This is how it works: It all begins in private households. That's where packaging gets sorted into recycling bins... The contents of the bins and bags are transported to sorting facilities. That's where the packaging waste is separated by material (such as tin or plastics). Unsuitable leftover material is sorted out. The plastic packaging waste is baled and...

hanit® Recycled Products | Guaranteed Quality hanit® recycled products are, depending on the product, available in various colours. Each product starts out as a grey granulated material, which is coloured during the manufacturing process. » When using recycled materials (hanit® pellets) variations in colour and visual appearance of the products can occur. For this reason, the depicted colour tiles are meant for orientation only. We cannot accept returns based on variations in colour and surface finish. » Grey profiles do not have any colourant added. The colour tone is the result of a...
