EVERSIA SA

Their core work

EVERSIA is a Spanish private company specializing in plastics processing, recycling technologies, and circular economy solutions for the packaging and agrifood sectors. They bring industrial expertise in multilayer plastic films, mechanical and physical recycling processes, and food-contact material compliance (including EFSA regulations). Their work spans bio-based nanomaterials, supercritical CO2 decontamination, and digital sorting technologies for plastic waste streams. Based in Murcia, they contribute applied industrial knowledge to EU consortia focused on closing the loop in plastics value chains.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

All three of EVERSIA's H2020 projects began in 2021, so the evolution is better read as a breadth expansion rather than a temporal shift. Their earlier-indexed work (BIOMAC) focused on foundational materials science — biopolymers, nanomaterials, and predictive modelling with standardization goals. Their more recent-indexed projects (CIMPA, Agro2Circular) shifted strongly toward applied circular economy challenges: mechanical recycling, food-safety compliance, digital sorting, and territorial waste upcycling in the agrifood sector.

EVERSIA is moving from materials research toward practical, regulation-compliant recycling solutions for the food packaging industry — a space with growing EU regulatory pressure.

How they like to work

EVERSIA participates exclusively as a consortium partner, never as coordinator, suggesting they contribute specialized industrial expertise rather than leading project design. With 89 unique partners across 18 countries from just 3 projects, they operate in large Innovation Action and Research consortia. This pattern indicates a company comfortable embedding within broad European networks and delivering defined technical work packages.

EVERSIA has built a surprisingly wide network of 89 partners across 18 countries from only 3 projects, reflecting participation in large-scale EU consortia. Their base in Murcia (Spain's agrifood heartland) aligns well with their focus on agrifood packaging and recycling.

What sets them apart

EVERSIA combines industrial plastics processing knowledge with deep familiarity in food-contact regulatory compliance (EFSA), which is a rare combination in the circular economy space. Their Murcia location places them at the heart of Spain's agrifood sector, giving them direct access to real-world packaging waste streams and industry needs. For consortium builders, they offer a credible industrial partner who can bridge the gap between recycling technology development and food-safety regulatory approval.

Highlights from their portfolio

• CIMPA
  Largest funding (EUR 285,688) and most technically specific — addresses the full chain from NIR sorting to EFSA-compliant food-contact recycled plastics.
• Agro2Circular
  Directly connects plastics recycling to the agrifood sector with a territorial systemic approach, reflecting EVERSIA's regional industrial roots.
