Our main commitment: QUALITY and INNOVATION

Since its foundation in 1992, CITSALP has been committed to quality, focusing on continuous innovation in products and services.

We prioritize innovation in processes, techniques, and working methods that enable cost savings through recycling and material reuse in production cycles. We have our own laboratory equipped with the latest instruments and a highly trained team, offering full traceability for all our products.
Since 2016, we have been Plastic Waste Managers, an accreditation that confirms our capabilities in plastic material recovery processes.

We comply with ISO 9001 and 14001 standards and hold certifications such as Ecovadis GOLD and Solar Impulse.

In 2025, we obtained the ISCC PLUS certification, which certifies that our material is 100% recycled.

R+D+i

Due to our specialization in the automotive sector, we identify, diagnose, and propose innovative alternatives to improve the productivity of the companies we collaborate with.

Since 2020, at Citsalp we have driven R&D projects to improve the quality of recycled plastics and explore new ways to add value to waste. We work with strategic partners in the sector to develop technical solutions that make recycling an increasingly efficient, reliable, and sustainable option.
