Circular economy
A fully integrated canadian model
From the recycling bin to the pipe on the worksite
Throughout the years, Soleno, a family business since 1977, has acquired a considerable expertise in the plastic transformation industry. Dealing with growing environmental concerns, Soleno has decided to invest in plastic recycling to maximise the usage of post-consumer waste materials in the making of its products.
Everywhere norms allow it, Soleno offers high density polyethylene products integrating recycled materials to create a high-performance product that is also respectful of the environment.
A model of circular economy for Quebec and Canada
With our 13 factories and distribution centers across Eastern Canada, we offer our sustainable products across 5 provinces. Each year, the equivalent of more than 150 million category 2 plastic containers from Quebec recycling bins are transformed to be used in the manufacture of our products.
Our supply comes partly from recycled material, residual plastics from our Waste Plastics Recovery plant and contaminated plastics from Soleno Plastiques VPC.
Thanks to these integrations, Soleno gives a second life to the plastics used every day by Quebecers and Canadians.
