Blanes is weighing a proposed €500 million recycling park at part of the former Nylstar site, with the project still needing an operator and permits before it can move ahead.
For residents, businesses and workers in Blanes, the immediate consequence is that this remains a proposal, not a confirmed build. The key issues are the permit file, land use at the former Nylstar site, and any traffic or industrial impacts if the scheme advances.
What the plan says
According to the original reports on the scheme, the project is linked to brothers Joan and Gerard Campmajó, owners of ACIN Recycling Metals. Those reports put the investment at €500 million and the job estimate at 500 to 600 posts if the project goes ahead.
The same reports say the park would focus on processing and reusing industrial waste. That means the next stage is formal review and paperwork, not construction, because the operator and administrative permits are still missing.
What Blanes should watch next
For people in Blanes and across Girona, the practical step is to follow municipal notices and any permit updates tied to the site. If the file moves forward, that is where conditions, changes or delays are most likely to appear. For wider Catalonia coverage, see our News archive.
The job figure should be read as a possible outcome, not a guarantee. Until an operator is secured and the permits are granted, the former Nylstar site remains a proposed location for the park rather than an active industrial facility.
