Madrid/Spain – Repsol will install a new recycled plastics production line (Reciclex range) with a capacity to manufacture 25,000 tons per year at its Puertollano Industrial Complex, making this center a benchmark for the circular economy in the Iberian Peninsula.
The new unit, which will come into operation at the end of 2024, will almost double the current capacity (16,000 tons/year) and generate 200 direct, indirect and induced jobs throughout the different phases of construction, start-up and operation.
With an investment of 26 million euros, it will manufacture plastics used to produce rigid and flexible packaging for non-food use, such as cleaning product containers or product packaging sacks. Specifically, it will process high and low-density polyethylene (HDPE and LDPE) with a recycled plastic content of 10 % and 80 %.
This investment is in line with recent European and Spanish regulations, which aim to achieve the recycled content target for plastics packaging of 30 % by 2030.
The Puertollano Industrial Complex thus advances in its transformation process, becoming a reference center in the recycling and recovery of plastic materials, to respond in a sustainable way to the new demands of society by generating high added-value products with a lower carbon footprint.
In addition to the new recycled plastic production line, Puertollano will -start up - the first polyurethane foam recovery plant this year in Spain and the Iberian Peninsula.
