Topack takes great care over the environment, as proven by its commitment to a dedicated recycling department.
In general, the advantage of recycling is twofold: on the one hand it reduces the final volume of waste, and on the other, recovering waste and reusing it saves raw materials and energy, and can even reduce raw material costs.
Plastic recycling thus allows, among other things:
 

Did you know... Many objects used daily, such as vases, hangers and clothing, are made from recycled plastic?
Only 1% of total oil consumed is used in the production of plastic packaging, and the materials and energy can be recovered after use?
Studies indicate that, if plastics were abolished as a packaging material, the volume of household waste would increase by 150%, the weight of packaging would increase by 300% and the energy consumed by the packaging industry would double?
Because of its low weight, the use of plastic in cars reduces fuel consumption by 4%?
For every 100 tonnes of recycled plastic, the extraction of one tonne of oil is avoided?
Did you know that each person produces an average of 1.3 kg of waste per day?

The origin of the word plastic comes from the Greek "plastikós", meaning suitable for moulding.
Plastics are materials formed by the union of large molecular chains called polymers which, in turn, are formed by smaller molecules called monomers. Plastics are produced through a chemical process known as polymerisation, the chemical union of monomers that forms polymers. Polymers can be natural or synthetic. Natural polymers include cotton, wood, hair, ox horn and latex, among others. These polymers are common in plants and animals.
Plastics are synthetic polymers, obtained through chemical reactions. The size and structure of the polymer molecule determine the properties of the plastic material. Polymers are divided into: Thermoplastics are plastics that undergo no change in their chemical structure during heating and can be melted again after cooling. Examples: polypropylene (PP), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), etc. Thermosets are those that do not melt when reheated. Examples: phenolic resins, epoxy, polyurethanes, etc. Everyday life: the importance of plastics in our daily lives cannot be denied. Plastic is responsible for great advances and brings a series of indisputable benefits to modern society.
An industry that generates millions of jobs and foreign currency for our country, and that is present in almost every sector of the economy. But the environmental problems that plastic packaging has brought to the modern world cannot be denied, nor can the environmental debate surrounding the subject.
Most plastics are recyclable and recycling them represents, besides an ecologically correct activity, a boost to the economy. Here you will find a great deal of information about this market, which has grown in many sectors.

Plastics have hundreds of applications. Waterproof, malleable, durable and with an excellent cost/benefit ratio, they contribute to social, economic and scientific development. And they protect the environment. Plastic protection helps in the production, storage and distribution of thousands of tonnes of food. It prevents waste and losses from transport or changes in the weather. Plastic packaging ensures that fruit and vegetables, meat, dairy products and drinks arrive at the table in perfect condition for consumption. Blood and serum bags, catheters, heart-lung machines and packaging for hospital waste are some examples of plastic materials that help in the cure and prevention of disease. Plastics saving lives. Preventing soil contamination, avoiding erosion, channelling sewage, preserving water and generating energy are important contributions of plastics to protecting the environment. Recycled plastic is used to make an endless range of products such as clothing, automotive components, conduits, carpets, bags, visual communication items, soles, pallets and furniture, among many others.

The plastics production chain contributes decisively to Sustainable Development, helping to conserve natural resources, improving people's quality of life and contributing to economic growth.
Competitive costs, ease of installation and low maintenance make plastics perfectly suited to meeting basic needs: housing, sanitation, water supply and health.
