Cabka N.V. (together with its subsidiaries “Cabka”, or the “Company”), specialized in transforming hard to recycle plastic waste into innovative Reusable Transport Packaging (RTP), listed at Euronext Amsterdam, announced that State Minister for Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Rural Areas, Colette Boos-John, and the District Administrator of Saale-Orla, Christian Herrgott, visited its Cabka GmbH site in Weira, Thuringia yesterday to learn more about the role of the circular economy in sustainable industrial development.
During a tour of the production facilities, the delegation gained insights into how hard-to-recycle plastic waste is processed into high-quality recyclates and durable products for the logistics and construction sectors.
“Companies like Cabka demonstrate how industrial value creation and resource conservation can go hand in hand,” said State Minister for Economic Affairs Boos-John.
In the subsequent discussion, key challenges facing the industry were addressed, including:
- The energy supply and energy costs of the plant
- Attracting skilled workers to the region
Thomas Wisser, Managing Director of the plant, emphasized:
“Cabka demonstrates that industrial production, climate protection, and regional value creation can go hand in hand. For companies like ours to continue investing and growing in the region, competitive energy prices, sufficient skilled workers, and predictable political framework conditions are essential.”
The company employs ca. 300 people at its Weira site and is one of the leading providers of recycled plastics solutions for transport packaging and construction applications.
