About Repeats

REPEATS – Recycled PE at Scale – is a pan-European platform that invests and operates recycled PE facilities in key European Markets.

At REPEATS, we think recycling plastic material is key to reduce waste pollution and CO2 emissions from production.

REPEATS’ core mission is to contribute to reach European governments’ target to 25% recycled PE in circulation by 2025 and 50% by 2030.

REPEATS is backed by Ara Partners, a $1.5BN-equity global investment fund in the Circular Economy with successful track record, managed by a team of Circular Economy and Plastic Recycling experts and connected to a broad ecosystem.

What we do

REPEATS both operates and invests in facilities that produce recycled PE, from buying post-commercial plastic feedstock to commercialising flakes to converters.

REPEATS industrialises and standardises recycled PE production. We produce top quality recycled PE that meet the needs of global brands and is truly competitive with virgin material.

Light plastic waste sorting

We buy light plastic post-consumer industrial feedstock and use optical sorters to select the best material and separate transparent from color plastics thanks to best-in-class optical sorters.

Plastic washing

We use innovative technologies to wash plastic.

Plastic Extrusion

We heat plastics to generate a molten paste cut into transparent and colored flakes, then sold to converters.
