Initially, the plant will have an annual production capacity of 15,000 tonnes of recycled HDPE. By mid-2022, it plans to increase the capacity to 30,000 tonnes.

The inauguration ceremony of the new state-of-the-art recycling plant in the central Mexican State of Mexico was held on 10^th November, 2021. The ceremony was attended by several distinguished guests including the Austrian ambassador to Mexico, Elisabeth Kehrer, and the governor of the State of México, Alfredo del Mazo Maza.

The plant, built at an investment of 20 million euros, has already created around 70 new jobs. The regranulate from the plant will be mainly used for the production of non-food packaging such as personal care products and household cleaning agents.
