- With an annual treatment capacity of 180,000 tons of waste, the plant is a technological reference in the region.
- With this acquisition, Urbaser will have invested in Spain close to one billion euros since 2022.
Madrid, March 20th 2025. Urbaser, a Spanish leading company in environmental solutions, has acquired the Waste Recovery Complex in Guadassuar, located in the province of Valencia, Spain.
Urbaser’s new acquisition includes a concession linked to a municipal solid waste treatment plant, which has a workforce of more than 100 employees and serves 52 municipalities within the Consorci Ribera i Valldigna, catering to a population of over 350,000 inhabitants. Additionally, it enables the management of a network of eco-parks consisting of 27 fixed facilities and 3 mobile units. The concession will extend over the next 20 years.
With an annual treatment capacity of 180,000 tons of waste, the plant is a reference in waste management thanks to its advanced treatment technology and the low rejection rate it generates.
The Guadassuar Waste Recovery Complex receives around 10,000 visitors annually, which underlines its exemplary character in waste management and the importance of environmental training and awareness of the Diputación of Valencia.
Urbaser’s commitment to enhancing environmental services in the Region of Valencia
This step strengthens Urbaser’s presence in the Region of Valencia where the company already operates significant facilities serving four zonal plans in Liria, Caudete, Elche, and Algimia de Alfara.
Furthermore, Urbaser has intensified its efforts in managing the waste generated by the devastation caused by the isolated high-altitude depression (DANA) in the province of Valencia in 2024. To date, the company has efficiently processed over 41,000 tons of waste, providing crucial support to affected communities. This vital service, which is expected to continue in the coming months, plays a key role in the region’s recovery.
“The acquisition of this complex in Valencia reinforces our commitment to investing in strategic environmental infrastructure in Spain. With this operation, we consolidate our presence in the Valencian Community and strengthen our support for local communities and the sustainable development of the region”, stated Fernando Abril-Martorell, CEO of Urbaser.
With this operation, Urbaser consolidates its leading position in waste management in Spain, where it has invested close to one billion euros since 2022. The transaction is expected to be completed in the coming weeks, subject to the fulfillment of certain customary conditions in this type of transaction.
