What Sigfito does

Sigfito Agroenvases SL, operating as "Sigfito," is a Spanish non-profit entity headquartered in Madrid and founded in 2002. It functions as the Sistema de Responsabilidad Ampliada del Productor (SCRAP), or Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system, for the agricultural and livestock sector in Spain. The organization collects and recycles commercial and industrial packaging used in farming and livestock operations, including insect capture traps. Its service architecture rests on three collection channels: a physical network of more than 1,826 collection points (Puntos de Recogida) across Spain, flexible agreements with holders who operate their own waste managers (Acuerdos con Poseedores), and periodic regional collection campaigns (Rutas SIGFITO). All collected packaging is valorized into secondary products such as irrigation pipes, plant pots, and road cones, with CO2 savings cited as part of the recycling process.

The platform layer supporting these operations consists of a member-facing web portal (portal.sigfito.es) used for producer adhesion, obligation tracking, and compliance documentation, alongside an electronic newsletter and a Sistema Interno de Información (whistleblowing channel) managed by an independent third party to comply with Spain's Ley 2/2023. Sigfito positions itself as the only specialized SCRAP for the agricultural and livestock sector, with more than 20 years of operational history and a 2025 management report publicly available on its website.

Sigfito generates revenue through recurring membership fees (cuotas) paid by producer companies that adhere to the system for EPR compliance; specific tariffs are published as PDFs but not openly displayed on the public site. The organization monetizes regulatory compliance rather than commodity recycling margins, and supplements this with adjacent services such as PPWR advisory via a partnership with AIMPLAS. Customer engagement is supported by regional Premios SIGFITO awards ceremonies, webinars, and an active social media presence across Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, and YouTube. The organization's leadership includes Director General Ignacio Dávila, who presented the new "Comprometidos con lo rural" corporate identity following the latest Junta General.

Core offering

Sigfito operates a nationwide Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR/SCRAP) system in Spain focused exclusively on the agricultural and livestock sector. It collects agricultural and livestock packaging waste through a network of over 1,826 collection points, direct agreements with waste holders, and periodic regional collection campaigns. Collected packaging is converted into recycled products such as irrigation pipes, plant pots, and road cones, supporting a circular economy model and saving CO2 in the recycling process.

Product overview

Sigfito is a single-service SCRAP (Sistema de Responsabilidad Ampliada del Productor) platform specialized in the collection and management of agricultural and livestock packaging waste in Spain. The offering consists of a unified collection network infrastructure with three main service channels: (1) SIGFITO Collection Points (Puntos de Recogida SIGFITO) - a network of physical collection points where farmers and livestock producers deliver their packaging waste; (2) Agreements with Holders (Acuerdos con Poseedores) - a flexible arrangement allowing businesses to manage commercial and industrial packaging through authorized waste managers while maintaining traceability; and (3) SIGFITO Collection Routes (Rutas SIGFITO) - campaign-based collection campaigns across different regions. The company also provides a Producer Portal (Portal de Productores) for member companies to manage their obligations and documentation, along with a Newsletter service and a Whistleblower Channel (Sistema Interno de Información) for compliance reporting. All collected packaging is valorized into products such as irrigation pipes, plant pots, and road cones.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Citeo: French EPR company managing household packaging and paper recycling. Comparable business model (producer-funded EPR, collection network, valorization), but operates across broader packaging streams rather than the agricultural niche.
• Duales System Deutschland (Grüner Punkt): Germany's flagship packaging EPR system. Comparable in governance, member-adhesion structure, and packaging recovery operations, though far larger and covering multiple packaging streams rather than specializing in agricultural packaging.
• Conai: Italian national packaging consortium operating the country's EPR system across all packaging streams. Comparable in non-profit governance and EPR function, but much larger in scope and scale than Sigfito's agricultural specialization.
• Fostplus: Belgian non-profit EPR organization for household packaging. Operates the same member-fee-funded, collection-network-driven packaging compliance model, but addresses broader household streams rather than agricultural specialization.

Direct peers

• Ecoembes: Spain's leading SCRAP for household packaging waste. Operates the same Extended Producer Responsibility business model in Spain but addresses a much larger (urban/consumer) packaging stream; provides the benchmark for SCRAP economics and member adhesion.
• SIGRE: Spanish non-profit SCRAP for pharmaceutical packaging waste. Operates the same EPR compliance, member-fee revenue, and collection-network model as Sigfito, but serves pharma manufacturers and pharmacies rather than the agricultural sector.
• ADIVALOR: French agri-environmental scheme that collects and recycles packaging waste from agricultural inputs (fertilizer, seed, crop protection). Directly comparable in agricultural specialization, EPR-style governance, and valorization of packaging waste into new products.
• Valorfito: Portuguese non-profit EPR/SCRAP system dedicated to the collection and recovery of agricultural packaging waste. Closest international peer given identical sector specialization, non-profit structure, and regulatory role under Portugal's equivalent of the RAP/EPR framework.
• Ecovidrio: Spanish SCRAP dedicated to glass packaging recovery. Closely comparable non-profit SCRAP structure, Spanish geography, and member-funded EPR model, though focused exclusively on glass rather than agricultural plastics.

Emerging players

• Agrociclo: Spanish agricultural and livestock waste valorization company focused on recycling agricultural plastics and packaging. Comparable in agricultural sector specialization and circular-economy valorization model, though operating as a private waste manager rather than an EPR/SCRAP.
