Plastic recycling and recovery

Veolia is a proactive advocate for the global “new plastic economy”, operating more than 40 plastic recycling and reuse factories worldwide and actively promoting collaboration across the industry. Our dedicated efforts focus on the efficient and eco-friendly transformation of plastics into reusable materials, thereby establishing a closed-loop resource system and achieving a circular economy.

Plastic recycling and recovery

We have the expertise needed to process several types of resins, which can then be reused by our industrial customers. These include polyethylene (HDPE or LDPE), used in packaging or construction, as well as polypropylene (PP), used in the automotive industry, construction, furniture and household appliances or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) present mainly in the Packaging and Textile sectors.

We provide an alternative to virgin material by recovering plastic waste.The plastic waste recycling can be broken down into different stages:

• collecting and transporting waste to recycling centers;
• sorting to separate out plastic, paper, card, metal, etc. before the different types of plastic are re-sorted;
• shredding to turn the plastics into flakes;
• washing to remove impurities;
• formulation to achieve the product quality and technical specifications required by the customer;
• extrusion to regenerate the material (pellets) before it is reincorporated into industrial production processes;
• creation of ready-to-use circular polymers.
