Waste Management World
STADLER Anlagenbau GmbH, a German company that operates globally and specialises in planning, producing and assembling turnkey sorting plants, has successfully completed the comprehensive modernisation of the BZB (Bizkaiko Zabor Berziklategia) light packaging sorting plant in Amorebieta-Etxano, Bizkaia.
The upgraded facility was officially inaugurated on 27 January 2026, with representatives from BZB, Ecoembes and STADLER, as well as regional stakeholders, in attendance.
A public-private partnership involving Garbiker (part of the Provincial Council of Bizkaia) and Trienekens País Vasco, BZB has been a pioneer in sustainable waste management and recycling in the region.
Specialising in the collection, sorting, and processing of packaging waste, BZB transforms household and commercial materials into valuable recyclables, playing a vital role in promoting circular economy initiatives across Bizkaia.
The original BZB plant, commissioned in 2002, was STADLER's first turnkey sorting facility in Spain, laying the foundation for the company's long-term presence in the country.
