Renascis Company overview Located within our industrial complex in Portalegre, Portugal, our on-site recycling facility, Renascis, plays a pivotal role in our sustainability efforts. Specialising in the recycling of post- consumer PET waste, Renascis transforms this material into a new feedstock for our film production, achieving full vertical integration and minimising logistical carbon emissions. Our commitment to incorporating recycled content is bolstered by a reliable supply of recycled PET. The light blue and clear PET flakes produced by Renascis are seamlessly integrated into our film production processes, ensuring a closed-loop system that maximises resource efficiency. As part of our strong commitment to circularity and tray- to-tray initiatives, we have been working in identifying innovative solutions to recycle multilayer trays. This has resulted in the development of a proprietary technology, which allows to obtain clear PET flakes from multilayer films and trays. As part of this effort, Renascis has invested in a new delamination unit that uses this technology to recycle these materials and incorporate the recycled PET into new transparent film. As pioneers in PET recycling in Portugal, Renascis remains the leading recycler in the country, annually recovering a substantial volume of post-consumer PET bottles, equivalent to more than 50% of Portugal’s waste stream.
In 2023, Renascis recycled 8,700 tonnes of PET equivalent to:
348 million PET bottles
CO₂ sequestered by 169,749 Trees over 10 years
509 Garbage trucks of waste that have been recycled instead of sent to the landfield
