Alucha Works BV

Alucha was launched in Barcelona (Spain) in 2004. It had its beginnings at the Barcelona Campus of the IESE Business School, where it started with a business plan to develop and commercialise innovative solutions for complex waste streams. Our first project was developed from scratch in cooperation with StoraEnso Barcelona. In 2010, the world’s first industrial installation was started up to recycle plastic-aluminium laminate waste originating from the recycling of used beverage cartons. This project received funding through the EU LIFE Programme. In 2014, the company moved to the Netherlands so that we could focus on the development of our paper mill sludge solution. Here we linked up with our partner Essity to develop the technology further.
