Environnement Massif Central, founded in 1997, integrates the entire value chain of plastics recycling. In fact, the site includes the three essential units for regenerating polyolefins: an oversorting center entirely dedicated to mixed household packaging and equipped with the latest generation optical sorting machines; a grinding-washing plant for this sorted waste and finally several extrusion lines to provide ready-to-use granules to plastics manufacturers. These activities allow the company to regenerate more than 10,000 tonnes per year of HDPE and PP in the form of flakes and granules. Growing investments in production facilities over the past decade have made it possible to achieve this capacity, which is expected to increase significantly in the coming years under market pressure.
Supplies are ensured thanks to seamless cooperation for more than 10 years with our historical partners CITEO and VALORPLAST for packaging but also ADIVALOR for wastes from agriculture. These structures guarantee the traceability and 100% French origin of the waste from which the pellets offered by the company come.

Polytechs is an Independent French producer of specialty compounds & masterbatches since 1980. The company has a production capacity of more than 42 000T split between 18 industrial & pilot lines – working in both Extrusion (twin screws; Co-kneaders) and Compaction activities. More than 160 people work there on 24/7 basis under the standard of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. Polytechs is as well proudly recognized by the Ecovadis label as Silver medal and by the World Customs Organization as Authorized Economic Operator (AEO).
 
Polytechs does generate a turnover of 35 millions Euros across two activities – the first one is its Toll Compounding services, working for the major petrochemical brands in Europe as well as the top players in polymer compounding and plastic conversion markets. The second activity is the production and selling of its own product brands – worldwidely known such as PW® cling masterbatch or Clean Xpress® purging compounds – but as well as its peroxide masterbatches, PFAS and PFAS-Free PPA masterbatches or its XW blowing agents. These brands deliver surface modification and productivity solutions to mainly the flexible packaging industry, the wire & cable actors and the pipe & tubes market. 65% of the sales are made outside France.

Polytechs is developing a biodegradable masterbatch range for the bioplastic industry.

Apply Carbon SAS / Procotex is specialized in the milling or cutting of Carbon leftovers lots (sized or un-sized) and aramids.
We truly supply “The Sustainable Carbon Fiber”. Milling (60-300µ), chopped 6mm sized (PU/PA/Epoxy…) and un-sized, granulates. Especially for compounds we supply a large range of sized carbon & aramid granulates.
For electrical conductivity we offer a range of low cost standard and intermediate modulus carbon fiber granulates, all available in large quantities. For wear resistance and metal replacement compounds we offer a range of para-aramid granulates with different sizings.

Apply Carbon SAS / Procotex is proud to announce the investment in a new “state of the art” 16,500m2 manufacturing facility for recycled carbon fiber, this due to a strong growth in CFr sales. All manufacturing will be centralized at the new plant in Plouay, Brittany. A recent study confirmed the low C02 or Carbon Emission Footprint of our carbon fiber recycling plant confirming that our carbon fiber is “The Sustainable Carbon Fiber”.
