Ilídio Rufino, Managing Director of the Plastidom Group, recently took part in the Hora de Agir programme (27 June 2026 episode), a broadcast dedicated to the role of plastics in modern society, sustainability, and the challenges of the circular economy.

During the interview, he shared more than six decades of experience in the plastics industry, reflecting on the sector's evolution and Plastidom's long-standing commitment to recognising and enhancing the value of this material.

The company's investment in innovative raw materials, such as polypropylene, together with the continuous improvement of its manufacturing processes, has enabled the development of higher-quality, longer-lasting products, contributing to a more efficient use of resources. Plastidom has consistently focused on creating practical and durable products that meet genuine consumer needs, while deliberately avoiding the manufacture of single-use or disposable items.

This commitment also extends to the circular economy. Through its Reciplex brand, the Plastidom Group incorporates recycled raw materials generated from its own production processes, reintroducing them into the manufacturing cycle and giving new life to materials that would otherwise be considered waste. In doing so, the company helps reduce waste and promotes a more sustainable use of resources.

 

The Plastidom Group would like to thank Hora de Agir for the invitation to participate in such a respected programme, which it considers essential in fostering awareness and discussion around sustainability, the circular economy and the responsible use of resources, issues the company has actively supported for many years. As Ilídio Rufino stated during the interview, "Hora de Agir was yesterday, it is today, and it should remain an ongoing commitment." This message reflects the Plastidom Group's ongoing commitment to developing solutions that combine quality, functionality and environmental responsibility, contributing to a more conscious use of plastics and to an increasingly circular economy.
