The beginning of 2025 is marked by the simultaneous achievement of two ISO certifications at 1.08 RECYCLAGE.
You certainly already know our white PS and our white ABS… and here, thanks to the latest advances in our mechanical recycling, is the arrival of the aptly named: PP Copo White.
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.
