PLASTIZ
Plastiz has the objective to raise awareness, engage, and motivate people to take actions and commitment about the “plastic issue”, circular economy, and sustainable entrepreneurship.
To promote among citizens, businesses, and institutions a new paradigm of perception about plastic, through processes, products, and educational workshops.
Plastiz is a company with zero impact on Planetary resources.
We recycle plastic materials that otherwise would end up in most cases dispersed in nature, committed to the dump or burned.
The recycling process gives a second life to these precious materials. Moreover, the production activity is powered only with renewable energies.
Plastics were conceived at the end of the XIX Century to replace scarce resources like ivory, from the 1950s these materials’ performances and versatility allowed them to be at the center of a cultural revolution.
New ways of consumption, durability, and affordability unfolded a new chapter in the relationship between men and plastics, turning the latter into a threat for the environment.
Waste does not exist.
At Plastiz by recycling plastic waste we celebrate this circular economy principle.
At Plastiz starting from waste we create products with further uses that can be also integrated into new cycles of production.
