REDUCE POLLUTION
Improving waste management by diverting plastics away from landfills and incineration, and preventing leaks into the ocean
Sustainability
How does Plastic Energy support sustainability?
INCREASE RECYCLING
Supporting countries in reaching plastic waste targets by recycling previously non-recyclable plastics.
HIGH QUALITY RECYCLED CONTENT
Increasing availability of virgin-quality recycled plastic suitable for food-grade products.
MOVE TO A CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Closing the plastic loop by using end-of-life material to create new plastics, instead of natural resources.
Our Certifications
ISO - International Organisation for Standardisation
ISCC PLUS
We are proud to operate the world’s first waste plastic conversion facility with ISCC PLUS certification. The production line certified according to the ISCC PLUS Standard recycles plastic waste into a valuable product, contributing to reduced virgin feedstock consumption. This is verified and confirmed by a third party.

RSB
We are pleased to have become the first end-of-life plastics chemical recycler to achieve certification for one of the world’s most robust sustainability standards for the circular and bio-based economy. Our recycling facility in Sevilla, Spain now carries a Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB) certification, demonstrating its important role in the circular economy by transforming end-of-life plastics into recycled oils that can be used to make virgin-quality plastics, thus reducing the need for fossil resources.
Our Commitments
By 2025, Plastic Energy will convert at least 300,000 tonnes of low-value plastic waste into feedstock for new plastic manufacturing (Plastic2Plastic).
