AG Plast, one of the pioneers of the circular economy, will be present at FIP 2024
A key player in the plastics industry, AG Plast has been committed for more than 20 years to developing solutions that are more environmentally friendly and aligned with the circular economy. In this interview, CEO Yvan Riva reveals the core business of this company from the Plastics Valley, which has successfully stood out in the commercialization of sustainable industrial solutions and will be present at FIP 2024.
Could you introduce AG Plast and tell us which industries your solutions are aimed at?
AG Plast is a pioneering company in the circular economy, specializing in the development and manufacturing of eco-designed large-scale plastic products, including those made from recycled materials. We offer a range of 'clean' products to structure outdoor spaces, which is a real asset for distributors mindful of their ecological footprint.
We collaborate with brands in the construction, environment, furniture, and logistics sectors to industrialize their product lines and thus contribute to the growth of the circular economy. With our strong commitment to the environment, we position ourselves as a responsible and innovative company, meeting the needs of consumers who care about sustainability and environmental impact.
Could you tell us about the different solutions you offer?
AG Plast is the leading French producer of composters for local authorities, meeting the growing needs in waste management. We are also the sole European producer of injection-molded pipeline protection plates, an innovation that ensures the safety of oil and gas infrastructures. As the exclusive supplier of distribution pallets for McDonald’s Europe, we provide high-quality products that are more environmentally friendly.
Among our achievements, we have also developed a hybrid railway sleeper combining wood and plastic, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional materials. In addition, AG Plast’s own products are listed within the Kingfisher Group, a recognition of both their quality and our expertise. Finally, we are one of the first French processors of recycled materials, further proof of our commitment to the circular economy and our contribution to environmental protection.
How do your innovations help companies adopt a circular economy approach?
The innovations offered by AG Plast are a real asset for companies looking to adopt a circular economy approach. Firstly, our geographical location at the heart of plastics technology, combined with our proximity to end-of-life product treatment solutions, gives us the advantage of developing durable and efficient recycling solutions.
Furthermore, our long-standing expertise in the recycled materials value chain allows us to optimize resource use while ensuring the quality of the products we manufacture.
