Circular economy

Circular economy: A key driver of Materials

Circular economy is at the core of Repsol Materials' 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 percentage of recycled product in their composition, will be used again giving them a second life and making them more efficient and sustainable.

Our circular economy Materials projects

Reciclex

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

Circular Polymers

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.

Circular Plastic Alliance: Building alliances to become more sustainable

We joined the Circular Plastics Alliance (CPA), an initiative by the European Commission aimed at boosting the market for recycled plastics in Europe. This commitment further supports our strategy to promote a transition towards an economic model based on circular economy just like the "Circular Economy Pact" we signed in 2017 alongside the key economic and social players in Spain.
