Because I care.

Keen junior accountant

Don't skimp and don't be sloppy - that's important in my job. I am currently doing the office apprenticeship and am already contributing to the success of the company by applying skill and a calm head - even in times of stress. There are so, so many things I like about my apprenticeship: the further training and language courses, the opportunities for promotion, the gym and the delicious food in the company restaurant and, of course, the great apprentice days!

My job gives me a lot of variety because I get to work in different departments during the apprenticeship. Ideas for improvements and further developments are welcome everywhere and at any time. I am currently working in the accounting department and I know for sure that I have found my future profession! Everything feels just right, especially the office atmosphere and working together with colleagues.

And of course, I also think it's great that I work in a field that creates new things from recycled "plastic waste", in addition to PET bottles, such great things as skateboards, chairs, pens and much more. That makes a lot of sense!

Family person with a hands on mentality

It's actually quite simple: the dirtier we leave the planet, the dirtier the next ones will find it. I am convinced that we should always keep an eye on other people, and not just on ourselves. The EREMA Group also lives by this: We are already taking care of the next generation here today. For me, recycling is part of life. I grew up without it: back then we threw everything in a trash can. When I was old enough to do better myself, I did. Today I work as an office and shipping clerk in the circular economy and every day I contribute to something great for our environment. I am responsible for delivering the machines to customers and can therefore see how many systems we "put out" and thus also how many recycling systems will be in operation in the future to make something new out of the old. This shows me what positive changes can result from new ideas. And that I don't have to worry about my job in any crisis. Because the world market leader EREMA is needed!

I like working here because the colleagues are great and it's a family-friendly company. This is how the recycling idea is passed on to the next generation. At least that's what I teach my children! EREMA has made a very good name for itself, especially among young people. As the apprentice coordinator for company logistics, I am particularly pleased about that. In this role, I don't judge the apprentices based on their grades. I prefer to get to know them by getting an idea of ​​their personality and work motivation – that's more important to me. A straight A in math is secondary if the person in question lacks social skills! It is crucial that the apprentices remain motivated and like coming to work. I try to contribute to that.

Environmentally conscious positive thinker

There are many things that matter to me, above all how people, animals and our living space are treated. I am convinced that we have to learn how to use resources sparingly if we want to protect nature and its creatures. Instead of exploitation, we have to find our way back to a healthy balance. I am convinced that positive change starts with a positive attitude of one's own. If you think positively, you act positively. If everyone pulls on the same end of the rope and has the same goal in mind, nothing can go wrong. That's how we handle it at EREMA, and that's why I like working here so much: Together we make a big contribution to a healthy environment!

Sticking together, appreciation and mutual support are just as important as honesty and security. Our industry is important for the future. That is why an apprenticeship or a job at EREMA offers long-term security. For my part, I work as an office clerk in the company. Working with numbers and accuracy are important. As an apprentice coordinator for finance and accounting assistance, I also teach you how you can make a valuable contribution, too.

Pioneer with a passion for research

I like the multi-faceted applications my company delivers. On the one hand, the Group covers the "big picture", but at the same time always keeps an eye on the details and sustainability aspects. We handle our tasks with responsibility and energy. The strong feeling of togetherness does not exclude self-development and self-determined work. We keep up with the times while at the same time are always one step ahead. That's what makes pioneers!

I think it's great that trust is placed in everyone. Praise is given and employees are actively encouraged to think for themselves. This also applies to the apprenticeship workshops, where we are actively looking to nurture the talents of tomorrow. In the team, you sense that everyone has a similar mindset. Also in terms of recycling and upcycling. You can feel the enthusiasm and conviction for what we do here.

This also applies to me, of course: I enjoy my work as a product manager in the Deinking & Water Technologies division at KEYCYCLE! By advancing technologies for removing ink from plastics and related R&D topics, I can improve the value stream, extend the value chain and make a significant contribution to the circular economy. The result is that I am fulfilling a childhood dream: back then, I wanted to become a biologist or a researcher, build drinking water treatment plants in Africa and make our earth a little better. The EREMA Group has made this possible for me.

Creative, electrifying person with a sense of humor

Each of us is a small cog wheel in a big machine. I mean that in a very positive way, because it means: we are all important in order to close the recycling loop. Recycling is the future. It drives the economy, creates jobs and helps the environment. Everyone benefits from that! I think it's great to work as an apprentice in this area. Our trainer in the field of electrical engineering always says: "Without us there would be no functioning systems and therefore no recycled granulate." That thought motivates me!

As an electrical engineer, it's my job to wire one of our smaller system types. I'm really proud of my work when, when the system is accepted and quality control reports: "No errors found. Everything perfect!” Or when experienced skilled workers tell me that they enjoy working with me. I feel like I can make a valuable contribution.

I was interested in the world of electrical engineering from an early age. That's why I was already electrified as a little boy - not only because I once reached into a light bulb socket... I also think it's great that I can also use the skills I learned as a hobby photographer in my apprenticeship: for both you need a lot of creativity.

I really enjoy working at the EREMA Group. The working atmosphere is collegial and fun. Communication is at eye level across all departments. I think it's nice to get involved in this atmosphere with my willingness to help and my optimistic, humorous nature. This is how colleagues quickly become friends.

Inquisitive go-getter & motivated supporter

Togetherness - you can feel it at PURE LOOP and the EREMA Group, as well as among your colleagues. Due to the company's international activities, you are globally networked here. As a process and commissioning technician, it's clear to me that I am on the same wavelength as my employer. After all, we all care about how difficult situations are handled - especially those that affect all of us as human beings. We are convinced that there is a solution for everything. We don't waste time talking too much about things: when people understand each other, we can implement projects quickly and get a lot of appreciation.

When I do my best today, it's to shape a better tomorrow. The genius of it: success and sustainability can go hand-in-hand. The recycling industry offers secure and well-paid jobs that do a lot og good at the same time. That is motivating! It is also fun to come up with solutions for problem materials that are hard to work with. I think a lot about challenges like these and quickly develop ways to improve equipment and processes. From tests with the materials to the final acceptance of the machine, our customers and my colleagues can always rely on my support and on the fact that I always try to do my best. Just by being helpful, I can make a lot of positive difference.

In my spare time, I also like to tinker with machines - especially vintage cars - and soak up knowledge by reading books. I think it's great to use my skills at work to help people all over the world. And as part of an extremely motivated and dedicated team! Why do I like working for the EREMA Group? Because it's just awesome! "Because we care" is our motto. Winning the Pegasus Award in the "Lighthouses" category shows that we are on the right track. That's something to be proud of!
