Our specialist areas

Since 1987, we have been collecting and marketing plastic waste and scrap products, on behalf of well-known manufacturers all over the world: injection moulders, recyclers, distributors and extruders.

The waste sector is evolving in line with society’s consumption habits and regulatory changes. So is General Industries, by building a recycling plant for plastic fractions originating from waste electrical and electronic equipment in the Auvergne Rhône Alpes region, which has been operational since early 2021 and is setting a new standard on the strategic recycling market.
