2026-06-02 11:00 2026-06-02 11:30 Europe/Madrid Strategy for the Spanish Plastics Industry, for a circular, climate-neutral, and competitive sector The plastics industry is an essential pillar of the Spanish economy and a key ally in the transition towards a more sustainable world. Its versatility, capacity for innovation, and commitment to the circular economy place it in a strategic position to address major social, economic, and environmental challenges. The Strategy for the Spanish Plastics Industry, developed by EsPlásticos in collaboration with the Ministry of Industry and Tourism, was officially presented in 2025. It is a pioneering initiative that sets out a roadmap for the sector based on five pillars that strengthen its role as a driver of growth, circularity, and climate neutrality. A firm commitment to the future. Rethinking Plastic

Veolia promotes a comprehensive and innovative approach to address this challenge, combining mechanical recycling —with successful cases such as the Lidl project, where bags were developed using 100% recycled material— and the potential of chemical recycling as a complementary technology. Additionally, it relies on the Circularity Guide for Plastics in Green Public Procurement as a strategic lever to promote demand for recycled materials and consolidate a real circular economy.

Industrial drums, jerrycans, and commercial fruit and vegetable boxes undergo multiple reuse cycles, after which they are recycled; the resulting raw material is incorporated into the manufacture of new packaging, ensuring functionality and food safety. Coordinated by SINTAC, the project includes industrial partners AGROFRESH, GCR, PALEC ECOLÓGICO and REYDE-GRUPO ARMANDO ALVAREZ, and associations AMAFRUVA and CAPEC. Rethinking Plastic

The SINTEC project (Intersectoral Synergies for the Circular Economy) aims to analyze and activate opportunities for industrial symbiosis between the technical textiles, advanced materials, waste management, and packaging sectors, with a particular focus on the valorization of textile waste with high polymer content, characterized by material complexity, low recyclability, and limited reuse.
Through a methodology that combines waste flow analysis, identification of industrial needs, and intersectoral co-creation processes, the project identifies the potential of these residues as secondary raw materials for the development of new applications, especially in the field of packaging.

The facility focuses on the recovery of polyaluminum for the production of rLDPE, the recycling of Bag-in-Box packaging to generate rLDPE, and the production of HDPE and PP blends from bottle caps. The plant will serve as a demonstration of our patented technologies: mechanical delamination, which enables the recovery of materials by removing adhesives and inks, and decontamination, designed to eliminate compounds and odors present in recycled plastics. These processes make it possible to obtain high-value materials suitable for new industrial applications, including pellets and film. Examples of industrial validation and collaboration with manufacturers will be presented, showing how multilayer packaging—traditionally difficult to recycle—can be efficiently integrated into a circular economy, combining technological innovation and sustainability.
