RIGK at IFAT and PRS Europe 2026: Network Showcases Solutions for Take-Back Systems, PPWR Implementation and Recyclate Quality

Wiesbaden, March 2026 – At the almost concurrent trade fairs IFAT (Munich, 4–7 May) and PRS Europe (Amsterdam, 5–6 May 2026), RIGK will present itself together with its network, which includes plastship, Hannawald Plastik, PACKLIANCE and the DAkkS-accredited PlastCert unit. The focus will be on practical take-back systems and services relating to the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), as well as certification and material transparency as key foundations for reliable circular solutions, increased use of recyclates, and economically viable implementation in practice.

RIGK will be exhibiting at IFAT in Hall A6, Stand 316, and at PRS Europe at Stand B18. While IFAT focuses on environmental technologies, waste and resource management, and the circular economy, PRS Europe highlights products and innovations in plastics recycling. Jan Bauer, Managing Director of RIGK, explains: “At both events, we are taking the opportunity to demonstrate how close links between practice, regulation and the market can be established. On site, we show visitors how take-back, recovery, compliance and quality assurance function as an integrated package – enabling the circular economy to be implemented not only in compliance with regulations but also in a predictable and economically viable way.”

EPR solutions for take-back and recovery – across sectors

RIGK supports industry, commerce and agriculture in the compliant and efficient take-back and recovery of packaging and plastics. Systems presented include RIGK-SYSTEM, RIGK-G-SYSTEM and RIGK-PICKUP, as well as sector-specific solutions for agriculture such as PAMIRA, BEIZE, VerenA, ERDE and PRE-SERVICE.

Network covering the entire value chain

Together with Hannawald Plastik and plastship, RIGK complements its take-back systems with modules for operational implementation. These include sorting and processing of commercial plastic waste streams, transparent material management, and the marketing of recycled plastics. In addition, RIGK supports industrial and commercial customers with solutions for in-house waste management and material flow management.

PPWR: assessing requirements – structuring implementation

With EU requirements continuing to increase, practical implementability is moving further into focus. As a consulting company, PACKLIANCE supports businesses in implementing obligations arising from the PPWR.

PlastCert: Certification and material transparency

The PlastCert unit provides recognised certifications, including RecyClass Recycling Process and Recycled Plastic Traceability, as a basis for transparency across the supply chain and robust evidence.
