MATERIAL ADVANTAGES OF RECYCLED PLASTIC
Durable and reliable performance
The weak spot of many products is the material, as conventional materials often cannot withstand rain, UV rays and frost long term. hanit recycled plastic has proved itself as a low-maintenance durable alternative in many areas because synthetic wood is extremely resistant to any environmental influences. The special material properties enable a very wide range of applications and maximum lasting stability even under extreme loads, thereby ensuring a high level of flexibility.
SUSTAINABLE
100% recycled plastic, fully recyclable and resource-saving
Produced from 100% recycled plastic, particularly durable and completely recyclable, hanit stands for environmental quality over the entire life cycle and resource-efficient waste management. By reusing existing raw materials from the Yellow Bag, with hanit a material is produced that combines functionality and sustainability in a unique way.
Since 2005 the majority of our products have carried the Blue Angel eco label. The Blue Angel has been the German government's independent eco label for over 40 years and guarantees that products and services meet high environmental, health and performance standards. A Blue Angel product must, for example, conserve resources during production, be made from sustainably produced raw materials, and be easy to recycle or particularly durable.
100% RECYCLED PLASTIC
Made from short-lived plastic packaging, hanit is a sustainable alternative to products made from virgin plastic and many other materials.
100% RECYCLABLE
Products made from hanit recycled plastic have a particularly long service life and can then be completely recycled.
BLUE ANGEL
Since 2005, the majority of our hanit products have been awarded the Blue Angel eco-label.
DURABLE
Extremely robust and reliable in use for many years
Products made from hanit are not only weather-proof, rot-proof and moisture-repellent, they are also extremely resistant to oils, alkaline solutions, acids and salt water. This makes them reliable all-rounders for outdoor use. As a result of these properties they are not only especially durable, but also very low-maintenance.
Our recycled plastic is extremely robust and remains reliable in use for many years, even under heavy use or heavy loads. Whether sun, rain, or frost: hanit can withstand any weather conditions without any problems and, thanks to its water-repellent properties, retains its full functionality even when in constant contact with moisture. Fungi, moss, and bacteria are also no problem, as the material is resistant to biological decomposition and therefore rot-proof.

SAFE
Break-proof, free of harmful substances and permanently splinter-free
Besides their special durability, another important benefit of our products is that they are permanently shatter-proof, ensuring that the risk of injury when working with the material and during subsequent use is reduced to a minimum. This is particularly practical for our flooring made from hanit, as it makes running barefoot and boisterous play possible without risk of injury.
In addition, hanit is free from toxins and harmful substances in accordance with DIN EN 71-3 (European standard for the safety of toys) and meets the same high standards that also apply to children's toys.

hanit is certified as free of harmful substances in accordance with DIN EN 71-3 (safety of toys) and meets the highest environmental and health standards.
SPLINTER-FREE
hanit recycled plastic is permanently splinter-free, which minimises the risk of injury when working with the material and during subsequent use.
BREAK-RESISTANT
Extremely resilient and break-proof, hanit is perfect for applications with high safety and stability requirements.
LIGHTWEIGHT
Cost-efficient transport and easy installation
hanit can not only be worked easily and flexibly, but also weighs on average only a third of traditional concrete products. For example, large beams or heavy L-bricks can be transported effortlessly, and transport costs can be saved.
Whether it be walls, borders or slope reinforcement - with hanit many projects can be completed without using heavy machinery. This means even our large L-bricks can be easily transported and precisely positioned, whereas conventional concrete specimens can hardly be moved without an excavator. The light weight thus enables easier and more flexible work on all kinds of construction and design projects.
LOW TRANSPORT COSTS
Weighing on average only a third of the weight of concrete products, hanit products can be transported effortlessly and cost-effectively.
FAST INSTALLATION
Easy transport and precise placement of products even in difficult-to-access terrain and without heavy machinery.
EASY TO WORK WITH
Lightweight and flexible to work with in a wide variety of construction and design projects thanks to its low weight and easy handling.
EASY PROCESSING
Just as easy to process as wood and flexibly adaptable
hanit recycled plastic offers a perfect combination of robustness and flexibility. Despite the particularly stable material structure, our products can be flexibly adapted for individual building projects and applications, enabling a high level of creative freedom.
Drilling, sawing, screwing - all no problem with our recycled plastic because synthetic wood can be worked as easily and flexibly as wood. And the best thing is: No special tools are required, as hanit can be finished with conventional woodwork and metalwork tools and machinery.
