INTERVAL

What INTERVAL does

INTERVAL, S.A. is a privately-held Spanish plastics manufacturer and recycler headquartered in Xirivella, Valencia, operating two production plants on a single industrial estate since its founding in 1982. The first plant is dedicated to recycling plastic waste - primarily Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) - into raw material, while the second applies extrusion and cutting technologies to convert that material into finished products. The integrated set-up gives INTERVAL vertical control over the waste-to-product loop and positions the firm as a circular-economy operator rather than a pure converter.

Its product portfolio spans three categories: recycled polyethylene granulate (granza de polietileno) sold as raw material to other plastic manufacturers, industrial coils and sheets (bobinas y láminas) made from 100% recycled materials, and a range of plastic bags (bolsas de plástico) for waste management, industrial sacks, domestic use, selective collection and gardening. Pricing is quote-based and B2B, distributed via direct sales (phone, email) within Spain, with brand visibility generated through a website, LinkedIn, YouTube, and trade-show presence such as Hygienalia 2023 at IFEMA Madrid. The firm also participates in industry associations (AIMPLAS, ITENE, ASFEL, ARVET, AVEP, ACE, IVEFA) and the EU-funded PlastiCircle project, and has been recognized as a circular-economy example by AVEP and AIMPLAS.

The revenue model is straightforward hardware sales of recycled plastic goods and granulate to industrial buyers, municipalities and consumer-product distributors, primarily within the Comunidad Valenciana and broader Spanish market. The company has no disclosed equity funding, with recent capital injections coming exclusively from regional and EU public grants (Conselleria 2019, IVACE 2025, GVA 2025) tied to reindustrialization, post-DANA recovery and circular-economy product development. Headcount is reported at 11-50 employees, consistent with a small regional manufacturer rather than a scaling platform.

Core offering

INTERVAL recycles and transforms Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) plastic waste into raw material and finished plastic products. The company operates two plants: the first recycles plastic waste into polyethylene granulate (granza) for industrial reuse, and the second applies extrusion and cutting technologies to manufacture recycled plastic bags for waste management, industrial sacks, coils, sheets, and bags for domestic, selective collection, and gardening use. Customers are primarily other plastic manufacturers, industrial buyers, and municipalities in Spain.

Product overview

INTERVAL is a plastic recycling and manufacturing company founded in 1982, operating two production plants. The first plant is dedicated to recycling plastic waste, primarily Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), converting it into raw material. The second plant processes this material using extrusion and cutting technologies to produce recycled plastic products including: Polyethylene Granules (granza de polietileno) used as feedstock for other industries; Industrial Coils and Sheets (bobinas y láminas) made from 100% recycled materials; and Plastic Bags (bolsas de plástico) for waste management, industrial use, domestic use, selective collection, and gardening applications. The company positions itself as a circular economy provider transforming plastic waste into useful products.
