PET Balls


SOREPLA was set up in order to provide an industrial solution to the problem of the recycling of domestic, plastic, packaging waste (shredded bottles - HDPE.PET).

In 1991, SOREPLA began the initial operations to build the plant which came on-line in April 1992.




It is based upon the mechanical processes of: prewashing, further sorting, grinding, washing, separation, drying, packing.

A second stage in development came about in 1996 (10,000 T of additional capacity) and a third unity is operational since 2002 to keep pace with market growth and to retain leadership in France et throughout Europe.



150 tons of bottles are processed daily, producing 90 tons of flakes.



The new line is fitted with additional features, particularly :

- Additional sorting to obtain a better quality
- 2 shredders to double the production
- Silos to facilitate the stocking
