Towards a more sustainable world

Our planet is drowning in plastic pollution

Plastic pollution is one of the biggest environmental challenges of our time.

Each year, more than 300 million tons of plastic waste are generated, of which less than 20% is recycled worldwide.

Dependence on oil, environmental impact, and the accumulation of microplastics make the search for sustainable solutions urgent.

Innovation in sustainable materials is the key as well as the simplification and improvement of recycling systems aligned with the evolution towards more recyclable materials.

With more than 500 industries in our network and extensive experience in biodegradable solutions, we are committed to transforming the market with responsible and efficient alternatives.

  • Single-use plastic represents between 80% and 85% of marine waste.
  • The EU seeks to reduce packaging waste by 15% until 2040 and promote recyclable and biodegradable materials.
  • The transition to bio-based polymers requires technological adaptation and more precise industrial processes.
What can we do?
