WE SELL RECYCLED PLASTICS - OUR PRODUCTS
At Cap Eco Recycling, we offer a wide range of shredded and granulated plastics for sale. Our recycled plastics are analysed and characterised in our internal laboratory, ensuring they meet the highest standards of our industrial customers.
To monitor and limit the impact of our industrial operations on the environment, at Cap Eco Recycling, we believe in promoting short channels and therefore consistently choose our partners (suppliers of waste plastics and buyers of our recycled plastics) from within a close geographical area (i.e., France and rest of the EU).

FAQ
What is industrial recycling ?
Industrial recycling is the process of collecting, sorting and processing materials for reuse in the production of new products. This may involve materials such as paper, glass, metal, plastic and other raw materials.
The aim of industrial recycling is to reduce the consumption of raw materials and reduce the waste produced by industry, which can have environmental and economic benefits. It can also contribute to the creation of green jobs and environmental protection by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preserving natural resources.
What are the different types of plastics that can be recycled ?
There are several types of plastic that can be recycled, the most common are :
- polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
- polypropylene (PP)
- high density polyethylene (HDPE)
- low density polyethylene (LDPE)
- polystyrene (PS)
- acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)
How is plastic waste sorted for recycling?
Plastic waste is generally sorted according to its resin, its application (injection, extrusion, roto-molding, blowing, etc.) and its color. This can be done manually or using sorting machines.
What are the benefits of recycling plastic waste ?
Recycling plastic waste helps reduce waste management costs, recover raw materials, save energy and preserve the environment.
What are the other means of recovering plastic waste apart from recycling ?
Apart from recycling, there are several areas for recovering plastic waste, including :
- Energy recovery: plastic waste can be used as fuel to produce electricity or heat.
- Chemical recovery: plastic waste can be used as raw materials for the production of new chemical molecules.
- Material recovery: plastic waste can be used to manufacture new products, such as rubbers, insulation or aggregates.
