SIMAP

What SIMAP does

SIMAP Srl is an Italian privately held plastics recycling company founded in 2003 in Albino (Bergamo), with a wholly-owned regional branch in Sosnowiec, Poland opened in 2015. The company regenerates industrial production scrap and post-consumer plastic into secondary raw materials (materie prime seconde) across a portfolio of 16 polymer types spanning engineering plastics (ABS, PA66, PA6, PC, PC/ABS, PMMA, PPS, POM, PBT) and commodity plastics (HDPE, LDPE, PP homopolymer, PP copolymer, HIPS, GPPS, PET), available in granule and/or shredded form. A dedicated R-PET flakes line processes post-consumer PET bottles through shredding, high-temperature washing, flotation, and centrifuging into single- or multicolour batches for downstream textile fibre and packaging customers. Technical differentiation rests on an in-house quality laboratory using an XRF analyser for RoHS-2 heavy-metal compliance and a Nicolet iS5 FT-IR spectrophotometer with Thermo Scientific OMNIC Specta software (patented algorithm for polymer and contaminant identification), backed by ISO 9001:2015 and CSI certifications.

The business model is direct B2B with quote-based pricing; customers contact the sales desk by phone (+39 035/761067) or email ([email protected]) for pricing on specific polymer grades. Revenue is generated through three streams: (i) trading of secondary raw materials in granule and shredded form, (ii) plastic recovery services (collection, transport, and upgrading of production scrap and post-consumer plastic) on a transaction-fee basis, and (iii) technical consulting as a professional-services line supporting customers' plastic waste management decisions. Target segments are thermoplastic compound manufacturers serving automotive and home appliances, textile fibre manufacturers sourcing R-PET flakes, packaging converters using injection moulding and extrusion, and industrial manufacturers outsourcing plastic waste recovery. The company operates with a lean structure of nine employees, a multilingual IT/EN/PL corporate website, and dedicated departmental contacts covering sales, purchases, quality, logistics, and administration. SIMAP is privately held with no disclosed external investors, parent entity, or funding rounds.

Core offering

SIMAP Srl regenerates post-industrial and post-consumer plastic waste into secondary raw materials (engineering and commodity polymers such as ABS, PA66, PA6, PC, PC/ABS, PMMA, PPS, POM, PBT, HDPE, LDPE, PP homo/copolymer, HIPS, GPPS, PET) supplied in granule and shredded forms, plus R-PET flakes from PET bottles. The company also collects, transports and upgrades production scrap, and provides technical consulting to help manufacturers adopt recycled plastics. All output is quality-verified through an in-house laboratory using XRF and FT-IR instrumentation.

Product overview

SIMAP SRL is a plastic recycling company that regenerates plastic materials to create secondary raw materials (SRM) for new manufacturing cycles. The company operates a portfolio of recycled polymer products including engineering plastics (ABS, PA66, PA6, PC, PC/ABS, PMMA, PPS, POM, PBT) and standard plastics (HDPE, LDPE, PP homopolymer/copolymer, HIPS, GPPS, PET), each available in granule and/or shredded form. These are complemented by a R-PET flakes production line for post-consumer PET bottles. Supporting services include waste management (handling production scrap and post-consumer plastic), technical support consulting, and supply chain control. The company does not operate as a software platform but as a B2B service provider in the circular economy sector.

Direct peers

• MBA Polymers: US-headquartered (now part of Piovan Group) recycler of engineering plastics from end-of-life vehicles and electronics into ABS, PC, PA, and PP grades. Highly comparable to SIMAP's engineering-plastics regeneration portfolio.
• MTM Plastics: Germany-based engineering plastics recycler producing recycled ABS, PC, PA, and PP compounds. Directly comparable to SIMAP on mechanical regeneration of mixed engineering-plastic streams for European automotive and industrial customers.
• Alpla Werke Alwin Lehner: Austrian-headquartered global plastic packaging manufacturer with significant integrated rPET and mechanical/advanced recycling operations across Europe. Directly comparable to SIMAP in rPET and packaging-grade recyclate production, though at materially larger scale.
• Plastipak Holdings: Global PET preforms and rigid packaging producer with vertically integrated PET-to-PET recycling operations in Europe. Comparable to SIMAP on PET recycling capability and packaging end-market exposure.
• Corepla: Italian national consortium for the collection and recycling of household plastic packaging. Operates in the same Italian plastic recycling supply chain as SIMAP and shares exposure to Italian post-consumer feedstock.
• Silon: Czech Republic-based PET recycler producing rPET for textile, packaging, and industrial customers in Europe. Comparable to SIMAP's R-PET flakes business and customer mix in the textile fibre segment.

Broad incumbents

• Veolia Environnement: Global environmental services group with plastics recovery and recycling operations across Europe. Comparable to SIMAP in plastic recycling scope, though operating at vastly larger scale across waste, water, and energy services.
• Suez: French-headquartered water and waste management company with plastics recycling operations across Europe. Overlaps with SIMAP in plastic materials recovery but operates across a far broader portfolio of environmental services.
• Borealis: European polyolefin producer (now under ADNOC) with growing mechanical and advanced recycling capacity for PP and PE. Comparable to SIMAP in PP/PE recyclate supply, but at far greater scale and with integrated virgin polymer production.

Emerging players

• Carbios: France-based biotech company commercialising enzymatic PET recycling technology for food-grade rPET. An emerging competitor in the same end-market as SIMAP's R-PET flakes, but using a chemical/biological route rather than mechanical.
