ABOUT EXTRUPLÁS

  • Our company has existed since the year 2000 and arose with the idea of dealing with a small part of the mixed plastics in Portugal that, at the time, were simply sent to landfill. Extruplás is a company that recycles, collects and recovers mixed plastics, and from them produces urban furniture in 100% recycled plastic, thus preventing these waste materials from ending up in landfill. It currently has factories in Seixal (headquarters) and Maia. Featuring within its vast portfolio are tables and stools for the garden, walkways and paving, sun loungers and parasols, raised structures and bridges. These items, made entirely of recycled plastic, avoid consuming natural resources such as wood.

Number facts

  • 70% of the population in Portugal recycles
