Cap Eco Recycling

What Cap Eco Recycling does

Cap Eco Recycling is a France-based industrial plastic recycling company that operates a single-site, vertically integrated collection-to-transformation model for thermoplastic resins. Headquartered at a 13,500m² industrial facility in Puceul (Loire-Atlantique) on the Nantes-Rennes corridor, the company purchases post-industrial offcuts, production scraps, and end-of-life plastics from manufacturers and resells shredded or granulated recyclate. Its core technology stack covers the full mechanical recycling chain — collection bin deployment, sorting, crushing, dust removal, metal particle separation, homogenization in a 20m³ silo, and granulation — supported by an in-house quality analysis laboratory that performs melt-flow, density, and humidity testing with three-month sample retention.

The product portfolio spans commodity polymers (HDPE, LDPE, PP, PS) and engineering-grade thermoplastics (ABS, PC, PA), each offered in multiple processing grades targeting injection, extrusion, blow-moulding, thermoforming, and roto-moulding applications. Supporting the resale business, the company offers contract toll-grinding services capable of processing up to 6 tonnes per hour, leveraging the same industrial site and certified weighbridge that underpins its commercial procurement transactions. Operations are held to RecyClass (EN15343:2007), ISO 9001 v2015, ISO 14001 v2015, and French GPI (decree 2021-461) compliance standards.

Commercially, Cap Eco Recycling operates a B2B field-sales motion targeting industrial customers in agri-food, pharmaceutical, packaging, electronics, cosmetics, automotive, and construction; plastics-processing companies generating purges, sprues, and rejects; logistics and distribution-center operators; and local authorities. Pricing is on a per-kilogram or per-tonne basis, varying by resin type, quality, and market conditions, with revenue derived from two streams: the buy-and-resale of recycled plastic materials and fee-based toll-grinding contracts. The company maintains a deliberate proximity-driven supplier and customer footprint in France and the European Union to manage environmental impact and logistics costs.

Core offering

Cap Eco Recycling collects industrial plastic waste (post-industrial offcuts, end-of-life plastics, production scrap) from businesses, processes it through grinding, washing, dust removal, metal separation, homogenization, and granulation, and resells the resulting recycled thermoplastic resins (HDPE, LDPE, PP, PS, ABS, PC, PA) in shredded and granulated form to industrial customers. The company also provides toll grinding (work-to-contract) services, in-house quality laboratory analysis, and custom logistics with on-site certified weighbridge weighing.

Product overview

Cap Eco Recycling operates as an industrial plastic recycling company offering a vertically integrated service from collection through processing to sale of recycled plastic materials. The core portfolio comprises recycled thermoplastic resins in commodity grades (PE, PP, PS, LDPE/HDPE) and engineering grades (ABS, Polycarbonate, Polyamide), sold as shredded or granulated materials. Supporting services include on-site collection and logistics, custom toll grinding, and in-house quality laboratory analysis. The company targets industrial clients, plasturgy companies, logistics operators, and local authorities seeking to divert plastic waste from landfill toward circular economy channels.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Carbios: French biotech company developing enzymatic recycling of PET and other plastics. Adjacent/emerging competitor in plastic recycling with a circular economy focus; could disrupt or partner with mechanical recyclers like Cap Eco in PET/rPET streams over time.
• TerraCycle: Specialist in hard-to-recycle plastic streams and producer of recycled-content resins, with B2B partnerships for circular plastic supply. Overlaps with Cap Eco on circular-economy B2B plastic recovery but focuses on more complex, niche waste streams.

Broad incumbents

• Paprec Group: One of France's largest recycling and waste management groups, operating plastics recovery and mechanical recycling lines nationwide. Comparable in plastic recycling activity but vastly larger scale; competes with Cap Eco for industrial and municipal plastic streams.
• Suez Recycling and Recovery: Global waste management and recycling group with significant plastics recovery operations in France and Europe. Overlaps with Cap Eco on industrial plastic collection and mechanical recycling, but operates at much larger scale across multiple waste streams.
• Veolia Recycling (France): Major French and global waste/recycling operator with plastic recycling and recovered material commercialization capabilities. Comparable buyer/reseller of recycled plastics and competing supplier to industrial accounts, though far broader in scope.
• Indorama Ventures (recycled polymers): Global petrochemical and recycled PET/rPolymer producer operating large mechanical and chemical recycling capacity. Broader incumbent competitor in recycled resins, with substantially greater scale, geographic reach, and R&D resources than Cap Eco.

Direct peers

• Biffa Polymers: UK-based recycler producing recycled polymers from plastic packaging and industrial waste, with quality-controlled output to manufacturers. Comparable in mechanical recycling operations and B2B resin sales, particularly relevant for the LDPE/HDPE/PP/film streams Cap Eco handles.
• MBA Polymers: Specialist in recycling of engineering plastics (ABS, PC, PA) from end-of-life durable goods, with a strong lab-based quality control approach. Direct comparability to Cap Eco's engineering plastics processing capability and similar B2B model selling recycled resins to manufacturers.
• Galloo Plastics: European mechanical recycler specializing in plastics recovery (including shredding/granulation) from ELV and industrial scrap. Direct competitor in commodity and engineering plastic recycling with a similar B2B sales model to plastics converters.
• RE-PLASTIC (Der Grüne Punkt): European plastic recyclate producer offering post-consumer and post-industrial recycled resins (PE, PP, ABS, PS) for industrial buyers. Direct comparable in product portfolio and B2B model, competing in the same engineering and commodity recyclate markets.
