A success story often begins with a supposedly absurd idea. That’s how it was at the end of the 1980s when Heinz Bechtold, former owner and CEO of today’s WASA AG – which was then known as Wasa Unterlagsplatten GmbH – had the idea of manufacturing production boards from recycled yogurt cups, films and other dual system (DSD) reusable materials. DSD – known in Germany for the Green Dot and the Yellow Sack – sought meaningful recycling opportunities for the plastic collected from private households. And they would find them in the next few years in Wasa solid plastic boards.
