WE BELIEVE THAT THE 21ST CENTURY WILL BE THE CENTURY OF RECYCLED MATERIALS
I founded Paprec with the conviction that recycling was crucial for the future of our planet. This conviction is now stronger than ever. By finding increasingly effective and sustainable ways of recovering waste and transforming it into materials, energy or fertiliser, we are making waste into today’s raw material of choice.
And preserving the planet’s resources at the same time.
