May 17 is a marked date on the environmental calendar: World Recycling Day. This day seeks to reflect on our consumption habits and waste management, especially plastic, one of the most prevalent and controversial materials of our time.
From Recycled La Red by Veolia, we want to show you why plastic recycling is essential to achieve an efficient and responsible circular economy. Why do we celebrate World Recycling Day?
Origin and objectives of World Recycling Day
This event, promoted by UNESCO, seeks to raise awareness of the importance of reusing and recycling materials to reduce pressure on natural resources.
Global importance of plastic recycling
Recycling directly contributes to waste and CO2 emission reduction. Recycled plastic prevents tons of waste from ending up in landfills and oceans every year.
The impact of plastic recycling on the circular economy
Environmental advantages of recycled plastic
The use of recycled plastic in products and packaging reduces oil extraction, saves energy and significantly decreases the carbon footprint.
Resource saving and waste reduction
Each team and machine at Recycled La Red by Veolia aims to transform waste into raw material, which promotes circularity and protects ecosystems.
Data from PlasticEurope shows that in Europe, more and more companies are taking advantage of recycled plastic, surpassing 5 million tons reused annually (source: https://plasticseurope.org).
Recycled La Red by Veolia: Our work in plastic recycling
Recycling process at our plant in Spain
At our facilities, we collect, classify and treat plastic waste according to the strictest European standards. We convert post-consumer and post-industrial waste into high-quality recycled plastic, ready to be transformed into new products.
Benefits of recycled plastic for businesses and consumers
Recycled plastic is a valid and sustainable alternative, ideal for sectors such as packaging, automotive or construction. It provides clear economic and environmental benefits.
How you can contribute to plastic recycling
Practical tips to improve recycling at home and in the office
- Separate the types of plastics correctly in the yellow containers.
- Reduce the consumption of single-use plastics.
- Find out about the clean points in your city.
- The importance of separation and selective collection
- Correct separation facilitates recycling, increasing the quality of the recovered materials and avoiding rejections. Learn to read labels well and follow local informative campaigns.
The future of recycled plastic in Spain and the world
Innovations and trends in plastic recycling
The implementation of new technologies or the new advanced recycled resins progress in efficiency and purity, opening new applications for recycled plastic.
Institutional support and new European regulations
The European Union promotes regulatory frameworks such as the European Plastic Strategy, demanding higher recycling rates and the design of more sustainable packaging (source: https://europa.eu).
In Spain, the National Integrated Waste Plan strengthens the recycling chain from collection to the eco-design of new products.

Efficient plastic waste management is crucial to mitigating climate change. At Reciclados La Red by Veolia, we have adopted advanced sorting to optimize recycling and reduce environmental impact. Visit our recycling process here.
What is Advanced Sorting?
Advanced classification is a process that separates plastics by polymer type. By separating plastics by polymer type, recycling quality is improved, as each type of plastic can be optimally processed for reuse in the manufacture of new products. This is crucial for obtaining high-quality recycled materials and for reducing the environmental impact of recycling, and CO₂ emissions.
Benefits of Advanced Sorting
- Recycled Material Quality: Allows for high-purity plastics, ideal for new products.
- Emission Reduction: Decreases climate impact by up to 27%.
- Circular Economy: Facilitates continuous reuse of materials.
Environmental and Economic Impact
A report by the Swedish Environmental Research Institute IVL highlights that advanced sorting significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
Circular Economy and Sustainability
Advanced sorting not only reduces emissions but also promotes a circular economy model, decreasing dependence on virgin raw materials.
Implementation at Reciclados La Red by Veolia
In our company, we have integrated innovative technologies to improve the precision in plastic sorting, optimizing our processes and results.
Competitiveness and Regulatory Compliance
Adopting these technologies differentiates us in the market and ensures compliance with environmental regulations.
Advanced sorting is essential for mitigating climate change and promoting sustainability. At Reciclados La Red by Veolia, we are committed to a greener future.
