07 Nov 2019 --- Global plastic packaging manufacturer ALPLA is set to expand its recycling activities by moving into polyolefin recycling through the acquisition of two companies based in Spain. With two of its own PET recycling plants in Austria and Poland (PET Recycling Team) and joint ventures in Mexico and Germany, ALPLA has long been an established partner in the field of PET recycling. These operations currently have an annual capacity of 70,000 metric tons. ALPLA is now “taking the next step” by buying two HDPE (high-density polyethylene) recycling plants.
