Once the first extruder is at full capacity, we will start to install the second extruder, which is specially designed for post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials.

The two machines are part of the entity’s investment of almost 7 million euros and they will be capable of delivering 12,000 tons per year for our customers.

This significant deployment of equipment is part of the strategic sustainability-focused approach that Plastigaur has been following for over 5 years.

Our plant already has the first of the two new extruders running at full capacity.

In turn, innovation is considered to be one of the cornerstones of the ongoing development of Plastigaur’s range of solutions, so we have invested over €700,000 in R&D for the current year.

We are currently in the process of installing the second production line, which will meet the sustainable packaging needs of our customers.

The new machines allow us to meet the requirements of products from the EKOGAUR sustainable range more efficiently with new secondary packaging (shrink material to form packs and banding systems) with post-consumer recycled (PCR) material.

We are continuing to take further steps towards the ultimate goal of obtaining products that are 100% recyclable and composed of recycled material, innovating our products and processes to achieve this and working closely with suppliers and customers with production methods based on eco-designs and the circular economy. We also adhere to this principle internally, only using energy from renewable sources in our production system, committed to reducing the amount of energy and water that we consume every year, taking part in OCS (Operation Clean Sweep) programmes and implementing best practices with regard to CSR in our relations with suppliers, for which we have received the highest recognition (Ecovadis Platinum).
