As we move towards a sustainable future, our vision for 2035 resonates even more strongly: Group.Passionate.Responsible.

As a leader in the reuse of plastic materials, we collaborate with a committed ecosystem to find eco-designed solutions that respect with the principles of the circular economy. Constantly on the lookout for innovation and optimization, our factory is increasingly focused on automation. Furthermore, we continue our vertical integration strategy by raising awareness among our customers about the use of recycled materials and optimizing our R&D efforts to reduce the overexploitation of natural resources. With the ambition to achieve carbon neutrality, we are continuously implementing initiatives to reduce our GHG emissions and contribute to carbon sequestration projects. Additionally, we are committed to promoting authentic and transparent practices in sustainable development and firmly reject any form of greenwashing intended to create a false image of environmental responsibility.

We consider ourselves a united, fair, diverse, and inclusive family. The socio-professional integration of people with specific needs and our employees from various cultures are our driving force and our source of inspiration to create a better world. We continue to stand out through our increasingly horizontal corporate culture, which allows employees to actively participate in internal decisions. With the well-being of our employees in mind, we advocate for personal and professional development and actively work to foster their fulfillment.

We actively participate in the development of the community to make it more resilient, fairer, and more responsible. In alignment with our founding values, we play a key role in urban development and the local economy. Well-rooted in our community, the company encourages selflessness through philanthropic and educational activities.  

In 2035, Plastiques G.P.R is convinced that the intelligent use of plastics is a key and responsible solution to address the challenges of combating climate change.

That’s why we’ve launched a vial recovery program. Together, let’s transform waste into valuable resources and contribute to protecting our planet. 

Our vial recovery program is simple, efficient, and designed for the future. Every vial collected is sent to our processing center, where it is transformed into high-quality plastic granules. These granules are then used to create new, durable products, reducing our ecological footprint and promoting a circular economy.

With our interactive map, you can easily find the nearest collection points and join this initiative. Whether you’re an individual or a business, every vial makes a difference in building a greener world.
