Advanced Classification: key to reducing climate impact

Mar 6, 2025 | Environment, Innovation, Sustainability

Efficient plastic waste management is crucial to mitigating climate change. At Reciclados La Red by Veolia, we have adopted advanced sorting to optimize recycling and reduce environmental impact. Visit our recycling process here.

What is Advanced Sorting?

Advanced classification is a process that separates plastics by polymer type. By separating plastics by polymer type, recycling quality is improved, as each type of plastic can be optimally processed for reuse in the manufacture of new products. This is crucial for obtaining high-quality recycled materials and for reducing the environmental impact of recycling, and CO₂ emissions.

Benefits of Advanced Sorting
  • Recycled Material Quality: Allows for high-purity plastics, ideal for new products.
  • Emission Reduction: Decreases climate impact by up to 27%.
  • Circular Economy: Facilitates continuous reuse of materials.

Environmental and Economic Impact

A report by the Swedish Environmental Research Institute IVL highlights that advanced sorting significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Circular Economy and Sustainability

Advanced sorting not only reduces emissions but also promotes a circular economy model, decreasing dependence on virgin raw materials.

Implementation at Reciclados La Red by Veolia

In our company, we have integrated innovative technologies to improve the precision in plastic sorting, optimizing our processes and results.

Competitiveness and Regulatory Compliance

Adopting these technologies differentiates us in the market and ensures compliance with environmental regulations.

Advanced sorting is essential for mitigating climate change and promoting sustainability. At Reciclados La Red by Veolia, we are committed to a greener future.
