General information

Short Summary
The Spanish company is based in Castilla y León and their main activity is the recycling and transformation of different types of plastic into pellets.

The production capacity of the company is over 40,000 tonnes per year for the different types of plastics that they recycle.

The company seeks commercial agreements with other European enterprises that demand recycled plastic material for use in their processes. They are looking for a commercial agreement.
Full Description
The Spanish company is a family enterprise with more than 50 years of experience in the recycling and transformation of different types of plastic from different sectors (industry, agriculture, urban waste, automotive sector, etc.) into pellets.

The main materials the company sells are the following:

1. High-density polypropylene (HDPE) is a type of thermoplastic plastic known for its high strength and rigidity, as well as its ability to withstand high temperatures. It is widely used in the manufacture of durable, impact-resistant products such as bottles, containers, pipes, food packaging and children's toys. HDPE is also resistant to chemicals and corrosion, making it popular in industrial and medical applications. It is a recyclable material and is considered relatively environmentally friendly.

2. Low density polyethylene (LDPE) is a highly versatile thermoplastic polymer widely used in the manufacture of a wide variety of products, including packaging, bags, films, toys, and pipes. It is characterised by its low density and high flexibility, making it ideal for applications requiring a lightweight material that is resistant to bending and abrasion.

3. Polypropylene (PP) is a type of thermoplastic plastic that is widely used in industry because of its unique properties. It is resistant to many chemicals, is a lightweight, low-density material, and has good thermal resistance. Some of the common applications of polypropylene include bottles, containers, trays, bags and other containers and packaging. Polypropylene is used in the manufacture of automotive parts, manufacture of medical devices such as syringes, tubing, sutures, and other medical disposables.

The company aims to reach commercial agreements that imply a strategic partnership in which both companies can work together to achieve common commercial objectives.

This collaboration can take different forms and levels of depth, depending on the interests, needs and material demanded by each company.
Advantages and Innovations
The use of recycled plastic can have a huge number of advantages, including:

• Reduced environmental impact: Using recycled plastic helps to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills or in the environment, which can reduce pollution and negative effects on wildlife.
• Energy and resource savings: Producing recycled plastics uses less energy and resources than producing new plastics, which can help to reduce fossil fuel use and carbon footprint.
• Reduced costs: Using recycled plastics can be cheaper than producing new plastics, especially in regions where fossil fuel prices are high.
• Increased environmental awareness: The use of recycled plastic can promote environmental awareness and social responsibility in business and society at large, which can have a positive effect on long-term sustainability.
• Improved brand image: The use of recycled plastic can be seen as a sustainable and responsible practice, which can improve brand image and increase the loyalty of consumers who value sustainability.
