The circular economy is much more than a trend: it is an urgent necessity to ensure a sustainable future. In Spain, recycled plastic has become a key pillar to closing the material life cycle, reducing environmental impact, and generating new economic opportunities.
At Reciclados La Red by Veolia, we work every day to transform plastic waste into high-quality raw material, ready to be used in responsible manufacturing processes.
The role of recycled plastic in the circular economy
Recycled plastic is key to closing the production cycle. By reincorporating this material into manufacturing:

- The carbon footprint decreases.
- Tons of plastic are prevented from ending up in landfills or oceans.
Environmental benefits
- Lower energy consumption compared to virgin plastic production.
- Reduction of CO₂ emissions.
- Conservation of ecosystems.
Economic benefits
- Savings in production costs.
- Creation of green jobs.
- Boost to innovation in materials.
The situation of recycled plastic in Spain
Spain has made notable progress in plastic recycling, but there is still a way to go. According to data from PlasticsEurope, the country recycles more than 40% of its plastic waste, and the trend is growing.
