The first half of 2024 is over, the time has come to take stock of our impact on the environment.
Despite a very difficult economic context in the field of recycling and plastics processing, GENERAL INDUSTRIES via its production subsidiary 1.08 RECYCLAGE has processed more than 7,000 tonnes of incoming materials mix at its BLYES industrial site.

For several years now, France Innovation Plasturgie (F.I.P.) has been organizing a trade show bringing together nearly 100 professionals from the plastics, composites and rubbers sectors, bringing together major industrial challenges that present technological innovations affecting extremely varied fields.

Here’s the paradox: on the one hand, a general awareness and encouragement to develop an efficient, viable industrial sector to recycle plastics of all kinds, including WEEE, and enter an increasingly circular and virtuous economy. On the other, a free pass given to virgin materials from the ends of the earth, produced at very low cost and in opaque conditions, in complete contradiction to the guidelines set out by our institutions.

A double coup for 1.08 RECYCLAGE, with two new certifications obtained this autumn.
Chronologically, the first certification is RECYCLASS. This renowned European label attests to the relevance of our post-consumer plastics recycling processes. All our procedures have been declared compliant to ensure the traceability of plastic waste incorporated into our production, from sourcing to regeneration.

It all started with an idea: to bring art and recycling together, although by default they’re opposites. If we consider that art consists of original creation, we’ll give you 4 hours to think about it 😉 And since our mission is to help our customers give a second life to waste, then…

A new edition of the POLLUTEC exhibition will be held in Lyon next week, from October 10 to 13.
Created in 1978, this regional event has over the years become the international benchmark for ecological transition issues. So it’s only natural that our teams should meet long-standing partners on site, and make new contacts as part of 1.08 RECYCLAGE’s rapid expansion. Especially at a trade show just 30 minutes from our Blyes plant!

In its constant quest for innovation, 1.08 RECYCLAGE brings to market new PS and ABS references that open up new prospects for our industrial customers.

September was marked by our presence at the latest edition of the Plastics Recycling Show (PRS) Middle East & Africa in Dubai. For the occasion, several hundred international industrialists were present, from a wide variety of fields: plastic recycling machinery and equipment, plastic material suppliers, pre-processors and, of course, plastic recyclers!

Another great event at 1.08 RECYCLAGE, with the arrival of our brand new range brochure.
At a glance, you can easily identify the recycled ABS, PS and PP we produce in a short circuit at our Blyes plant, just outside Lyon.

Over the past few days, all our teams have been working on a satisfaction survey, which we have sent out to over 150 customers worldwide.
It’s an opportunity to take a close look at all our services and the quality of our relationship, because your opinion is essential to us.

GENERAL INDUSTRIES’ industrial adventure is still in its youth, with the creation of the 1.08 RECYCLAGE plant. The meeting and subsequent minority investment by the TERTIUM entrepreneurial fund in early 2022 represents a major milestone.
Today, we’d like to find out more from Romain GERLA, one of our key contacts at TERTIUM.

18 months! Only 18 months have passed between the delivery of the first production line at the end of 2021 and the commissioning of our third unit this spring.
