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.

What if a simple action could make all the difference?

At Plastiques GPR, we believe that every vial deserves a second life — and that every small gesture helps build a healthier world.

This pilot project for collecting single-use medication vials is an invitation to take a simple action that carries great hope: the hope of a future where the health of our communities and that of our planet go hand in hand. Because those vials we throw away without thinking… can become the raw material for lasting change.

Each vial returned to a participating pharmacy is transported to our processing center, where it is carefully transformed into high-quality plastic pellets.
These pellets will give life to new, durable products — a concrete reminder that together, we can turn waste into resources, and habits into solutions.

With our interactive map, you can find collection points near you and become an active part of the change.

But for this project to reach its full potential, we need committed allies.
Transport companies, logistics partners, collection stakeholders: your collaboration is essential to turn this local initiative into a viable solution across Québec.

One gesture, one vial, one difference.
Because protecting the planet is, above all, an act of love.

At Plastiques GPR, sustainable development is part of our DNA.
Every decision, every investment, and every improvement we make is designed to reduce our impact, support our community, and keep people at the heart of our success.
