Recupac

What Recupac does

Recupac is a Chilean industrial waste management and valorization company headquartered in Huechuraba (Santiago Metropolitan Region) and operating as a subsidiary of the Coipsa group. Founded in 1989, the company employs 101-250 staff and runs an integrated asset base of 4 waste conditioning plants and 1 plastic valorization plant across Chile's Metropolitan and Valparaíso regions. Its core service offering — branded Gestión 360°, Retiros eficientes, and Recepción certificada — covers on-site yard handling, scheduled collection, and certified receipt of industrial solid waste, with traceability documentation for regulatory compliance.

The company monetizes through two intertwined revenue streams: service contracts for waste management (on-site handling, scheduled pickups, and certified reception) and product sales of conditioned recycled raw materials. The latter includes ISRI-compliant fibers, metals, plastics, and liquid packaging board, as well as internally produced recycled polyethylene (PEBD) pellets in transparent and caramel grades for applications such as stretch film, shrink wrap, hoses, geomembranes, and pipes. Underlying technology centers on conventional mechanical waste conditioning plus a proprietary plastic valorization line converting post-consumer/industrial PE waste into PCR-grade pellets.

Recupac's go-to-market is direct B2B enterprise field sales with quote-based pricing, dedicated service account managers, and a web-based pickup request platform (Retiros Ya). Target verticals are concentrated in Chile: consumer packaged goods (foods, dairy, beverages, household/personal care), non-food packaging manufacturing, protein production (aquaculture and livestock), and retail/logistics distribution. Customer engagement is driven through the corporate website, LinkedIn, YouTube explainer content, WhatsApp, and a digital quoting tool integrated with parent Coipsa's Heroku-hosted platform. The business is privately held and wholly owned within the Coipsa conglomerate, with no disclosed institutional investment or public listing.
