Recycled and refurbished IBCs cut emissions at Cromogenia

Spanish leather chemicals manufacturer Cromogenia Units has introduced intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) made with 30% recycled HDPE at its Barcelona and Tarragona plants.

Cutting CO2 emissions by 6.8 kg per unit, a successful pilot in 2025 will allow wider use, with 1,000 to 3,000 IBCs expected annually.

The company also used 8,836 refurbished IBCs in 2024, avoiding more than 1,176 tonnes of CO2. These actions form part of Cromogenia’s plan to reduce total emissions by 30% by 2030.

“Our move towards recycled and refurbished containers is a key step in advancing the circular economy,” said CEO Alex Cabestany.
