Caldara Plast’s mission is to give waste a second life, an approach that is no longer seen as a secondary option, but as the first choice for companies committed to environmental sustainability.

With its large production capacity, speed, and availability, this Lombardy-based company is positioning itself at the forefront of industrial recycling. Caldara Plast is increasingly convinced that the use of regenerated plastic materials should be the primary choice for companies that care about the environment. The company ensures compliance with all legal authorizations for waste collection and storage, in addition to adhering to key European and international regulations such as RoHS and REACH. Caldara Plast is also certified ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015, confirming its commitment to quality and environmental management.

Caldara Plast aims to educate stakeholders about the versatility of plastic, which is recyclable and reusable numerous times in the production process, thereby reducing its environmental impact. While global plastic production continues to grow, recycling helps cut CO2 emissions by up to 90% compared to new plastic production. Giving waste a second life is no longer just an option—it’s a critical choice for companies prioritizing sustainability and a greener future. The future belongs to those companies who value the environment.

The decisions made by companies highlight their environmental commitment. Caldara Plast’s customers understand that, at the same cost, they are choosing regenerated compounds that also help them become more sustainable.

Led by brothers Massimiliano, Attilio, and Alessandro, Caldara Plast is standing out in the market as an industrial recycling company capable of offering a comprehensive service. From the recovery of waste materials, scraps, and offcuts to the supply of regenerated compounds, including the “Caldara 2nd Life” certified product line, Caldara Plast is providing value on multiple fronts. On the recovery side, the company helps suppliers give a new life to production waste, while on the compound side, it supplies customers with regenerated materials like industrial-grade granules and modified raw materials, tailored to their specific needs. Caldara Plast is a valuable partner for customers seeking to develop new formulations, thanks to the expertise of its specialized technicians who can meet diverse requirements.

The company produces thermoplastic granules for industries such as automotive, furniture, household appliances, and electricals, both in Italy (70%) and internationally (30%). Despite the challenges brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, Caldara Plast has seen increased international demand in recent months. Some of the main compounds produced by the company include sinLAC ABS, sinBLEND PC/ABS, sinCARB PC, sinSTYR PS, sinMID PA6 and PA66, sinTRON PPS, sinPOM POM, sinGLASS PMMA, sinKRYL SAN, sinTER PBT, and sinPET PET.

The growing market demand for regenerated products, coupled with a desire to make them more recognizable, led Caldara Plast to certify the quality of its materials. In 2020, the company earned the “PSV – Plastica Seconda Vita” (Plastic Second Life) and GRS (Global Recycle Standard) marks from the IPPR (Institute for the Promotion of Recycled Plastics) for a range of products. These certifications ensure complete traceability of all components in the finished product, guarantee a minimum percentage of recycled plastic, and confirm that strict environmental and social criteria are met throughout the production chain.
