STEP UP TO THE FUTURE OF YOUR PACKAGING
In GAVIPLAS we are ready to objectively advise each client to achieve personalised sustainable solutions. Our 60 years of experience go hand in hand with a clear vision of the future, as we keep a keen eye on every evolution, with the highest quality and best possible service as the common thread.
Sustainable is the way to go.For you, for us, for the planet.
At Gaviplas we embrace the circular economy with open arms. Repeated reallocation and a relevant longer life span of materials are a good example of this. The dead-end street of linear economy finally has a future-proof alternative.
Nowadays the flexible packaging industry has more than ever been asked to provide solutions for sustainable end products. Our industry must do its part to help brand owners to offer more recyclable packaging solutions.
At Gaviplas we reduce the thickness of our extensions and reformulate their composition so that they can carry out recycled materials and make them recyclable.
The result;
More sustainable plastics.
Recycling monomaterial complexes.
Carbon footprint reduction.
100% reciclable, compostable and or recicled.
A TRANSFORMATION that changes the entire production process from origin to impact.
With packaging made from raw materials of vegetable origin or using high % post-consumer PCR, giving plastic a second life.
We are dedicated to do business in a responsible and ethical manner, by respecting and protecting the partners we work with, and the planet we work on.
Gaviplas is a 100% family owned company working towards a longer term picture.
This means Gaviplas can readily be inclusive, responsive and responsible towards its employees and focused on the development of the organisation and the individual needs of our employees. All that we ask in return is that our employees are passionate about the business and following our company code of conduct SMETA by Sedex.
We are proud members of Sedex, one of the world’s leading ethical trade membership organisations, working with companies to improve working conditions in global supply chains.

VERTICAL INTEGRATION
CADEL DEINKING was created with the aim to help converters and plastic recyclers to increase their COMPETITIVENESS on the market.
DEINKING TECHNOLOGY, developed by Cadel, removes the printed ink from plastic surfaces. So, it is possible to obtain a high value product, with the same characteristics as virgin raw material, from a low value printed scrap.
CADEL DEINKING
At Gaviplas we are so committed to the sustainability and recycling of our materials that we have created CADEL DEINKING. A technological development company created with the aim of implementing an innovative plastic recycling process in plastic recyclers and converting companies, through which it is possible to eliminate the ink printed on plastic surfaces.
The Deinking Process
CADEL DEINKING has developed a unique process that removes printed ink from plastics before obtaining a recycled material.
This gives the product a high added value, because printed ink spoils the recycled product both visually and in its mechanical properties and we are able to erase completely any odours from the inks.
The result of the process is an ink-free plastic with a quality very similar to a new brand plastic.
Gaviplas has developed a new range of laminated mono material for pouches that offers the possibility of using over 30% recycled materials in its production for non-food contact applications.
This represents a new step in Gaviplas goals of supporting the circular economy within the flexible plastic packaging sector.
CAN A POUCH BE A POUCH AGAIN?
MONO MATERIAL WITH RECYCLED CONTENT
The finish quality we obtain from this monomaterial is similar to the quality or properties of virgin material and could be used in dry food packaging, personal care products and other markets, always following the relevant analysis to ensure its quality.
The Blue Angel is the federal government’s environmental label. It guarantees “high standards for the protection of our environment and health – independent and credible,” said Federal Environment Minister Svenja Schulze. The Federal Environment Agency defines the criteria for the award.
Environmental benefits
Using 30% recycled content in PE films has been estimated to reduce energy consumption by 25% and reduce greenhouse gas emission by over 1/3 during manufacturing.
