Brussels, 8 June 2026 – Recycling Europe is pleased to welcome SOSTENPLAS as Silver-level sponsor, reinforcing the company’s commitment to advancing plastics circularity and supporting competitive, well-functioning markets for recycled materials in Europe.

SOSTENPLAS is a leading voice for the plastics recycling industry in Spain, with deep technical expertise in the recovery and processing of complex plastic waste streams, particularly those derived from Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). SOSTENPLAS is dedicated to promoting a genuine circular economy, transforming end-of-life plastics into competitive, high-performance pellets and secondary raw materials that meet the strict technical demands of the automotive, electronics and construction sectors.

Julia Ettinger, Secretary-General of Recycling Europe, said: “We are delighted to welcome SOSTENPLAS as a Silver sponsor. Already a trusted partner across our work, SOSTENPLAS’ support comes at a pivotal moment as Recycling Europe strengthens its competitiveness and steps up its advocacy for Europe’s recyclers.”

Pablo León, CEO at SOSTENPLAS, stated: “SOSTENPLAS is proud to step up and strengthen its partnership with Recycling Europe. As the European plastics recycling market faces critical challenges from unfair competition and illegal practices, Recycling Europe provides a unique platform to align our policy positions in Brussels. Together, we will advocate for strict, polymer-specific End-of-Waste criteria, granular customs codes, and enhanced market surveillance to ensure that the EU’s green industrial agenda is built on true industrial quality and environmental integrity.”

At a time when securing strong European demand for recycled materials, and addressing unfair competition in plastics are becoming increasingly critical, industry actors such as SOSTENPLAS play a key role in ensuring the resilience and circularity of Europe’s recycling value chains.
