About us

We are a young and dynamic team, capable of improving ourselves every day.

We face challenges, we provide solutions.

Our history

Our company was born within the University of Alicante after several years of research in the field of waste management and plastic recycling carried out by the founders of Fych. As a result of those years of work, three technologies were patented focused on increasing the recyclability of plastic products and improving the quality of recycled plastics so that they can be used in high value-added applications, thus contributing to the implementation of the Circular Economy in the sector. The Fych company was born with the aim of transferring the technologies and knowledge generated to the industry and continuing to use our research essence to provide technological solutions to waste management.

Mission, vision and values

Mission

Our goal is to offer the planet technological intelligence to convert waste into resources, contributing to the progress of society while respecting the natural environment and people.

Vision

We want to work on what we are passionate about, which is the development and commercialization of viable and competitive technologies that are recognized among the best in the world in waste recovery, maintaining our independence and freedom to create.

Values

What characterizes us most is our enthusiasm for what we believe in, the attitude with which we work, the innovative spirit with which we think.
