Bizkaiko Plástico Berziklategia (BPB) will prevent almost 8,000 tons of polyethylene film, used in supermarket shopping bags and similar products from being dumped annually on the local environment, in North of Spain. BPB's plastic film treatment process is a pioneer in Europe, being the first to recycle PE.
This new recycling plant is the result of a co-operation between Basque Public Company, Garbiker and a Trienekens group subsidiary. Inaugurated in Amorebieta, near Bilbao, the plant required a six million Euro investment, 70% of which was put in by Trienekens, a German group specialising in cutting-edge recycling processes, while 30% came from the local concern Bizkaiko Zabor Berziklategia (BZB).
Located on the Zubieta industrial estate, this new plant will take its raw material from all over the north of Spain aiming at processing polyethylene film rescued from solid urban waste, turning them into a reusable plastic base for new products.
