PlastiVerd

What PlastiVerd does

PlastiVerd, Pet Reciclado S.A., is a Spain-based, privately held PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) resin manufacturer headquartered in El Prat de Llobregat in the Barcelona metropolitan area. The company is wholly owned by CL Grupo Industrial, a diversified Spanish conglomerate, following the April 2014 acquisition of the PET resin production unit (formerly Artenius S.L.U.) from the La Seda Group. Operating from a single integrated CPU/SSP plant with 101–250 employees, PlastiVerd produces and sells PET resin pellets in two segments: a commodity range targeting beverage and consumer-goods packaging (AQUA, FLOW, GLOBAL, PURA, FAST FLOW, FAST FLOW+, FAST Global), and a technical polymer range covering specialty optical, mechanical and processing requirements (BRIGHT family, DESIGN, HF, HOT, SHAPE, TERMIO). The company also markets the UNIQUE sustainable line (A25, FF25), which combines 25% post-consumer recycled PET with virgin resin via a proprietary chemical recycling process that achieves food-contact purity equivalent to virgin-grade material.

Underlying technology centers on proprietary chemical recycling — a patented de-polymerization process that integrates recycled PET into the re-polymerization stream — supplemented by high-efficiency energy recovery systems, an osmotiation plant delivering 75% glycol recovery, and ongoing EU/ERDF co-financed automation projects. Product certifications and compliance include ISO 9001 (AENOR-IQnet since 2009), EU Regulation (EC) No 10/2011 for food-contact plastics, and EU Directive 94/62/EC on packaging waste, with BRC Global Standard for Food Safety currently in implementation.

Commercial model is direct B2B sales of resin pellets to packaging manufacturers — primarily bottlers of still and carbonated water, soft drinks, edible oils, household and cleaning products — with technical consultation support provided as a value-add service. Distribution is concentrated in Southern Europe (primarily Spain) via the company’s own sales organization, with no disclosed pricing model beyond bespoke enterprise contracts. Revenue streams consist of PET resin product sales and ancillary technical consultation; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Operations show documented outperformance against plan (production +10% and May sales +6.7% vs. budget, waste below 0.2%), and the business is currently characterized by operational reinvestment and product-line expansion rather than disclosed topline growth metrics.
