Recycling - Import export

food-safe raw material made from empty PET packaging that has been collected and prepared for recycling Our thermoformable rPET monolayer laminate is made 100% material post-consumer recycled (PCR). Of this more than 50% is recycled material from trays, and it is 100% recyclable. This facilitates its classification and recycling where the infrastructure exists to do so. Its excellent degree of transparency is comparable with products made from virgin plastic, and its specific mechanical properties ensure it will withstand any impact during the packaging process. SP GROUP rPET is entirely suitable for food use, and holds EFSA certificate No. 2017/4843. Properties: Very transparent, thermoformable. Applications: Trays for many products, including: cakes, biscuits, salads, and fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as other non-food products: perfumes, cosmetics and blister packs.

Our new recyclable PP HB ECO material is a polypropylene-based, sterilisable complex with high-barrier properties that replaces non-recyclable structures. This structure has been developed by SP Group to comply with the European Commission target of ensuring all plastic packaging in the EU market is recyclable or reusable by 2030. PP HB ECO has been evaluated by the CYCLOS-HTP institute and certified for recycling in the PP stream that currently exists in several European countries. Our pouches and bags made of PP HB ECO (with and without zippers) have been rated AA, which means that 90% of the packaging can be recycled, as it is almost entirely composed of polypropylene. CYCLOS-HPT also assessed our PP HB ECO baby food pouches with caps for the rigid PP recycling stream and rated them AAA, meaning 96% of the packaging is recyclable. Properties: It stands out for its high degree of transparency, greater than any PP structure.

New flexible polypropylene top film is a recyclable high-barrier material that can be used with heat treatments such as retort processing. Can replace multimaterial structures to comply with EU guidelines on the circular economy. PP HB ECOTOP is part of SP Group’s ECO range of recyclable monomaterial solutions. Combined with the new RST B ECO thermoformable base web, PP HB ECOTOP film is the perfect solution for vacuum-packed products that require retort processing. The structure is fully recyclable, as more than 90% of it is polypropylene. The remaining materials do not interfere in the recycling process. The PP HB ECOTOP top film is also compatible with rigid polypropylene thermoformable trays. This makes it an ideal recyclable monomaterial top film for products that require MAP, rather than vacuum packing. Properties: High-barrier material, suitable for retort processing. This heat treatment prolongs the shelf life of products, thereby helping reduce food waste.

Our recyclable PE HB ECO is a polyethylene-based complex with high-barrier properties, which can replace non-recyclable structures. This material has been developed by SP Group to meet the guidelines set out by the European Commission to increase the recyclability of packaging. PE HB ECO has been added to our Eco Range, which contains all SP Group’s recyclable and mono-material packaging solutions. Properties: It stands out for its transparency, its high-barrier properties, and its capacity to withstand heat treatments such as pasteurisation, hot-fill and microwaving processes. Applications: Market applications of this material: Sauces or products that contain sauce or another liquid, rice-based or other legume-based pre-prepared dishes, food supplements and superfoods, such as chia seeds, poppy seeds, etc., dried fruit and nuts, and other dried foods, among others. In the non-food sector, it is also suitable for gels, personal hygiene products and beauty products, among others.
