Founded by Jorge Lemos, Ecoibéria and WorldPet have been expanding capacity at a fast pace and are now part of Logoplaste Group.

Ecoibéria transforms post-consumer plastic bales into recycled flakes which will then be transformed into rPET pellets by World Pet who sells to converters for packaging applications.

Ecoibéria and WorldPet moved to the new facilities in 2019 where the 3rd washing line and the rPET line were installed.
