About us
Biocirculo was established as an alternative for recovering plastic waste and the usage reduction of non-renewable natural resources. We have grown to become a key player in the mechanical recycling of PET, HDPE, PP, and PS bottles and packaging in Colombia, giving plastic a second chance and thus creating a circular economy for this valuable and versatile material.
