Install a free PET bottle collector and reclaim the new plastic tax

Post-consumer management plastic and aluminum liquid food containers It has become a global issue and as such it must be managed and addressed in a way that engages and sensitizes all citizens. It should be noted that plastic waste If no measures are taken, it will increase by 46% from today to 2030, EU reports.

In addition, a new law that came into force in January of this year special tax of 0.45 euros per kilogram on plastic packaging Not reusable in SpainInnovative companies as established by Law 7/2022 of 8 April on Waste and Contaminated Soils for a Circular Economy Answers contribute to this reality reduce carbon footprint and promoting the habit of recycling in all parts of the circular economy chain. This is the case of Ripet, an Italian company that has developed an integrated solution for proper management. Separation, classification, recovery and monetization of solid waste. In this way, it integrates manufacturers, institutions, companies, governments and society as a whole to take green actions for the planet and thereby neutralize its carbon footprint.

Ripet is an Italian company that develops an integrated solution for the correct management of solid waste separation, classification, recovery and monetization.


How is this put into practice?

Ripet offers an efficient and sustainable solution for selective collection and traceability. PET containers, the material from which most disposable water and soda bottles are made. The goal is precisely to transform what is commonly considered “waste” and thrown away into a useful and reusable resource over and over again. citizen participation and reduce the impact of shipping by reducing the volume of the container (10 times). these too delivered directly to those who recycle them into new bottles.without any further paperwork.

The picture shows the difference in the size of the bottles before they are poured into the machine and when the compression process is finished.


To this end, the company has developed and produced smart ecological compactors automatically collecting bottles 24 hours a daythey compress them and by reading the barcode, keep track of useful data. In fact, the barcode corresponds to a product code and the corresponding technical sheet; composition in percent PET (virgin) and rPET (recycled PET). With the cooperation of bottling companies, it is possible for Ripet to calculate exactly how many bottles are collected for each brand, how much pure PET and how much recycled PET they contain.

Ripet has recently opened its subsidiary RiEcologica SL in our country to enable its use in Spain and here Install 1,000 to 3,000 machines in 2023.

Advantages of smart compactors

  1. Technical support 7 days a week. In addition, Ripet offers to install the first 3000 units for free and free maintenance.
  2. Its storage capacity is higher than any other similar system on the international market (over 6,000 bottles). This requires better collection flow, less electricity consumption, less trips and less transport costs to recycling facilities and therefore less CO2 emissions. All this is achieved thanks to the presses, the company’s patented system for compressing plastic bottles to the maximum. This system guarantees maximum size reduction and therefore the best transport management to the recycling plant.

  3. 100% traceability of containers it allows municipalities and companies to keep the whole cycle under control.
  4. probability of something happening Find out in real time the amount of plastic collected to distinguish the amount of recycled plastic from unprocessed plastic to better serve citizens by reducing purchasing costs, thereby correctly recovering the applicable tax (Extended Producer Responsibility).

  5. application for tracking of bottles delivered by the user With quantity tracking to get coupon, purchase coupon or discount. In order to speed up the delivery of containers to the machines, the geographical location of the collection points is determined.

Where can the ecological compactor be installed?

Organized distribution companies, supermarkets, municipalities, sports facilities, gas stations, airports, 24-hour automatic sales points and all places where beverages are consumed in plastic containers.

“Both in Spain and elsewhere, eco-compacts will be installed in the aisles and at the entrance of organized distribution outlets, they aim to create synergy”, pointing out from Ripet. The technology of machines manufactured by this Italian company, associate packaging collection with loyalty cards GMO parent brand or chain can create customer loyalty by giving points and discounts to those who deliver empty bottles in front of their store.

Its storage capacity is superior to any other similar system available on the international market.


This is a system that has already succeeded precisely because it benefits everyone: citizens are encouraged to deliver used bottles, organized distribution companies (free of charge) provide an appreciated service and build customer loyalty, bottlers now have the ability to recover and track containers, and financial benefits When it comes to Spanish legislation.

Presses plastic bottles to compress them to the maximum.


All this through a generating process. new jobs in the area and supports institutions to achieve their goals. increase percentages of selective plastic collectionaccording to the logic of the circular economy, in favor of the environment and thus society in the present and in the future.
