Your challenge, our speciality

Waste management and recycling in Valencia

At Grupo Sabater we don't offer standard solutions because we understand that every waste stream tells a different story. With more than 35 years managing the most complex challenges of the Valencian and Spanish industry, we have developed unique technical expertise that makes us the ideal strategic partner for companies facing real problems with difficult waste, complex environmental documentation or logistical processes that require truly innovative solutions.

Do you have waste that no one else wants to handle? We do.

Por qué Grupo Sabater
es diferente

Diversidad técnica sin igual en el mercado.

La verdadera diferenciación de Grupo Sabater reside en la amplitud y complejidad de los materiales que gestionamos y valorizamos diariamente. Mientras la mayoría de gestores se especializan en una o dos tipologías de residuo, nosotros dominamos el reciclaje y la valorización de plásticos en todas sus variantes — PEAD, PEBD, PP, PET, mixtos, films multicapa y PolyAl —, madera, cartón, metales y combustibles alternativos. Una capacidad que no se construye de un año para otro: es el resultado de cuatro décadas de inversión técnica y operativa continua.

Why Grupo Sabater is different

Unmatched diversity in managed materials. The true differentiation of Grupo Sabater lies in the breadth and complexity of the materials we manage and recycle daily. While other waste managers specialise in one or two types, we master the recycling and recovery of plastics (HDPE, LDPE, PP, PET, mixed), wood, cardboard, metals, alternative fuels and complex multilayer composites.

This diversity is no coincidence: it is the result of decades of investment in R&D, advanced technology and a technical team that has faced and solved the most difficult recycling challenges in the market. From used beverage cartons to mixed waste, from contaminated plastics to wood with special treatments, we have developed our own patented processes that turn the impossible into an opportunity.

This diversity is no accident. It is the direct result of years spent developing our own technical processes for waste streams that the market considered unsolvable. From beverage cartons to contaminated plastics and wood with special treatments, at Grupo Sabater we have systematically turned the sector's most difficult challenges into replicable industrial processes — some of them registered and patented through Sabater Tech.

But what really sets us apart is not only what we do with each waste stream, but how we do it: with our own resources, with technology developed in-house, with a specialised technical laboratory and with the ability to offer every client a solution that integrates analysis, logistics, treatment and certification under a single point of contact. That is what working with Grupo Sabater means.

Our unique capabilities

In-house quality and innovation laboratory

We develop and validate tailored recycled material formulations in our own specialised technical laboratory, ensuring that every product meets the client's technical and regulatory specifications before commercialisation.

Optical sorting technology with built-in AI

Our sorting systems using optical sensors and artificial intelligence enable the identification and separation of polymers, metals and contaminants with an accuracy exceeding 98%, guaranteeing maximum purity in every fraction of processed material.

Exclusive patented recycling processes

We have developed and registered our own mechanical recycling processes for waste that the market considered to have no viable technical solution.

Our process:

Listen, design, execute

We listen to your challenge

Every project begins with a comprehensive technical audit where our specialists analyse:
Full waste characterisation: chemical composition, particle size, contamination level, moisture, homogeneity

Operational context: volumes generated, frequency, seasonality, storage conditions

Regulatory requirements: EWC classification, environmental documentation, necessary authorisations, reporting

Corporate objectives: ESG targets, Net Zero commitments, ISO 14001 environmental certifications, Zero Waste goals
This initial diagnosis allows us to understand the real problem beyond the waste, identifying recovery opportunities that other waste managers do not see

We design the tailored solution

With the information gathered, our multidisciplinary technical team — which includes chemical engineers, process specialists, logistics experts and environmental technicians — develops a personalized proposal that may include:
Development of specific processes:
  • Technical formulations adapted from our R&D+i laboratory
  • Pilot tests to validate technical and economic viability before industrial scaling
  • Adjustment of grinding, washing, drying, extrusion parameters according to material characteristics
  • Integration of AI classification technology when complex flow separation is required
Optimized logistics solutions:
  • Design of source segregation systems adapted to the client's production processes
  • Specialized containers according to type, volume and safety requirements
  • Route and frequency planning optimized to minimize operational interruptions
  • Complete digital traceability from collection to final destination
Comprehensive document management:
  • Complete processing of necessary authorizations and permits
  • Preparation of environmental documentation: ID (Identification Documents), management certificates, traceability reports
  • Support in ISO 14001 audits, sustainability reports and ESG reporting
  • Up-to-date regulatory advice in accordance with national and European legislation
Optimized logistics solutions:
  • Design of source segregation systems adapted to the client's production processes
  • Specialized containers according to type, volume and safety requirements
  • Route and frequency planning optimized to minimize operational interruptions
  • Complete digital traceability from collection to final destination

We execute with industrial excellence

Once the solution is approved, we implement the project with industrial rigor and total commitment:

Gradual implementation: Pilot phases that validate operation before full deployment

Client staff training: Training in source segregation, container handling, environmental best practices

Continuous monitoring: Comprehensive quality control, performance indicators (KPIs), periodic reporting

Continuous improvement: Adjustments based on real results, process optimization, adaptation to client changes

The case study that defines how we work

Success story: ASTRAL, pioneers in the impossible

The best example of our capacity to tackle complex challenges is ASTRAL, our 100% recycled and recyclable material that revolutionizes the management of post-consumer beverage carton waste in Iberia.
