Ziklum is the most important recycling company that opened operations in 2010 in Acolman, State of Mexico.
Through a unique proprietary system, we separate the cellulose and polyaluminium contained in Tetra Pak packages under a system of high productive and ecological efficiency.
In 2013 our annual recycling capacity was 7,500 tons, but in
response to the commitment to the planet and generations to come, ZIKLUM is now recycling more than 10,00 tons/year, or the equivalent to 5% of the total Tetrapack packages manufactured in Mexico.
Our process involves intensive use of water, a resource that we know is scarce and highly valued. At Ziklum, we carry out the following specific actions to make reasonable use of this treasure: • We have a system for collecting rainwater. • We have a water treatment plant that allows us to give up to 10 cycles on this resource.
For every Tetra Pak ton, we avoid chopping down 17 trees, we save 26.500 liters of water and 750 kilos of paper are recovered.
Our process is performed using a highly efficient system of organic productions, eliminating the need to use a single chemical and removing any environmental footprint.
Ziklum prevents that 200 million of Tetrapack packages to get into landfills helping to save our planet.
