Transforming recycling

Our commitment to circularity

Every day we work to defend plastics recycling in Spain and Europe, drive innovation through new technologies and strengthen collaboration between companies, research centres and public authorities. Three pillars that sustain the circular economy.

Defend

We represent the sector before Spanish and European public authorities, defending a regulatory framework that recognises the value of plastics recycling as a driver of the circular economy.

Innovate

We drive the development of new technologies that make it possible to recycle more, better and with higher quality. Innovation is the foundation for recycled raw material to compete with virgin material.

Collaborate

We build bridges between recycling companies, research centres, industry associations and public authorities. Only a connected ecosystem can deliver real circularity.
