IPRA™300
Transforming hard-to-recycle plastics into valuable, recyclable products
Each year, millions of tonnes of complex, multi-material plastics are incinerated or sent to landfill due to the absence of suitable recycling streams. These materials include multilayer packaging, composite products, and mixed plastic waste that conventional recycling processes cannot handle.
Developed by Aisa in partnership with the French sustainability pioneer REPLACE, the IPRA™300 offers a breakthrough response: a fully automated industrial recycling line capable of transforming hard-to-recycle plastic waste directly into durable, functional, and 100% recyclable products.
Built in France by Aisa, the IPRA™ 300 enables local, economically viable circular production, significantly reducing CO₂ emissions while creating long‑lasting value from waste.
One-step recycling process, without pre‑treatment
The IPRA™300 converts unprocessed plastic waste directly into finished products, without washing, drying, sorting, regranulation, or component separation.
Up to 75% of plastic types are compatible with the process, including:
- ABL toothpaste tubes
- Surgical masks
- Flower pots
- Champagne foils
- Many other complex, multi‑component plastic wastes
This simplified process reduces operating costs, limits energy consumption, and enables stable, continuous industrial production.
Durable products designed to replace traditional materials
Products manufactured with IPRA™ technology are resistant to weather, impact, and intensive use, making them suitable for demanding applications.
Typical outputs include:
- Vineyard stakes
- Signalling and fencing poles
- Pallets
- Planks for urban furniture and infrastructure
These products can replace wood, concrete, or metal, while remaining 100% recyclable through the same IPRA™ process, enabling a true closed‑loop system
Proven environmental and economic performance
The IPRA™ solution has been optimised at every stage and validated through an independent Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
- CO₂ emissions up to 30 times lower than incineration
- Energy consumption approximately 50% lower than conventional mechanical recycling processes
- Economically viable with high output and low operating costs
A single IPRA™300 can produce over 3 million vineyard stakes per year using 100% recycled material, avoiding up to 3,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually compared to incineration
Line configuration

The complete line includes:
- Material feeding system with weighing conveyor
- Two-stage injection line composed of an extruder, a material filter and an injection machine
