Circular economy

Circular economy: A key driver of Materials

Circular economy is at the core of our Repsol Materials Business strategy and serves as the basis for our operations.

We pursue a production model that makes full use of resources and generates the least amount of waste. Thanks to that, we produce materials that, in addition to being 100% recyclable, can be used to provide the products needed by society such as healthcare materials, packaging, automotive components, furniture, among others. 

These materials, which incorporate a certain percentage of recycled materials in their composition, can be used repeatedly giving them a second life and making them more efficient and sustainable.

Our circular economy Materials projects

With this project, we obtain new polymers that incorporate recycled material, guaranteeing top quality and functionality. With this new range of products, we expand our commitment to circular economy and our value chain, making more sustainable, innovative solutions.

We have been pioneers in the production of circular polymers using pyrolysis oil as an alternative raw material, which is derived from chemically recycled plastic waste that is not suitable for mechanical recycling. These circular polymers feature the same quality and functionality as virgin polymers and can be used in food packaging and healthcare products. Moreover, all our productive complexes are ISCC PLUS certified for their production.
