Our Story

Fych Technologies originated after several years of research in the field of waste management and plastic recycling conducted by its founders. This work led to the development and patenting of three innovative technologies designed to enhance the recyclability of plastic products and the quality of recycled plastics, enabling their use in high-value-added applications and promoting the transition to a Circular Economy in the sector.

The mission of Fych Technologies is to transfer these technologies and the knowledge generated to the industry, maintaining an innovative approach and providing advanced technological solutions for the efficient management of waste.
