Cologne, June 24, 2026. Shortly after integrating the French RG Group, GreenDot is taking another strategically important step in building a robust, pan‑European recycling platform with the addition of Anviplas Spain, a long‑established LDPE recycling specialist located in Navarcles, Catalonia. With an annual capacity of 30,000 tonnes, the site significantly expands GreenDot’s ability to secure and scale high‑quality natural and translucent LDPE recyclates for European converters and brand owners. 

 

GreenDot now operates a total of six state-of-the-art mechanical plastics recycling facilities, including existing plants in Hörstel and Eisfeld (Germany), Piacenza (Italy), and Tence and Saint-Pal-de-Mons (France). Together, these sites provide converters and brands with a reliable supply of high-quality recycled materials, offering a combined recycling capacity of 175,000 tonnes per year across all material streams. GreenDot’s portfolio covers the full range of LDPE, HDPE, and PP recycling.

 

For GreenDot, the integration of Anviplas Spain is more than an operational expansion, it is a deliberate move to reinforce Europe’s recycling infrastructure at a time when demand for premium recyclates is accelerating and regulatory requirements are tightening. The Navarcles facility processes post‑commercial and post‑industrial films using modern installations designed to deliver consistent, high‑performance materials. With over 35 years of experience since its founding in 1988, the company brings deep technical expertise and a strong industrial heritage to the GreenDot network. The site employs around 70 people, who will now contribute to GreenDot’s growing European operations.

 

By combining Anviplas Spain’s long‑standing know‑how with GreenDot’s international commercial and operational network, the company strengthens its ability to secure feedstock, optimize cross‑border logistics, and provide reliable, European‑made recyclates at scale. This strategic step enhances supply chain resilience at a moment when Europe is seeking greater independence in critical materials and a faster transition toward circular plastics systems.

 

Laurent Auguste, CEO of GreenDot, said: “The integration of Anviplas Spain marks another milestone in our strategy to build a strong, interconnected European recycling platform. Their decades of expertise in LDPE film recycling, combined with our growing network, will allow us to accelerate the availability of high‑quality recyclates and support Europe’s transition toward true circularity. Catalonia is an important industrial region, and we are committed to strengthening its role in Europe’s circular plastics economy.”

 

With the addition of Anviplas Spain, GreenDot continues to expand its presence in Southern Europe and reinforces its position as a leading provider of high‑quality recycled plastics. This move supports converters and brands in meeting upcoming regulatory targets, while contributing to a more resilient and competitive European recycling landscape.

About GreenDot:

GreenDot is dedicated to address the plastic waste crisis by developing solutions and assets which close the circularity loop of plastics through the production of high-quality recyclates, including from difficult to recycle waste streams. The group’s portfolio spans both mechanical and chemical recycling, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) licensing services as well as consulting on EPR systems and design-for-recycling.

 

The foundation of the group was laid more than 35 years ago in Germany with Der Grüne Punkt which created the world’s first nationwide EPR program for household packaging, including hard to recycle plastics like flexible films. Since then GreenDot constantly expanded its business areas in order to serve all requirements of the circular economy for plastics. To date GreenDot has presences in Germany, Austria, Italy, France as well as Spain, and continues to widen its global network.
