Raw materials from the south shore, inspected before they ship.
Two Shores Materials sources raw materials from vetted North African producers and sells them to manufacturers and recyclers in Europe. Our first product line is recycled plastics from Algeria. Every lot ships with its own lab analysis and an independent pre-shipment inspection.
One accountable counterparty between North African producers and European buyers.
Vetted producers
We work with established producers in Algeria. We visit each site and review its processes and testing before we offer its material.
Every lot tested
Each lot is sampled and analysed against the agreed specification. An independent inspector checks weight, packing and quality at the loading port before the container is sealed.
Contract, shipping, documents
You contract with a Swiss company. We handle the commercial terms, coordinate shipping from Oran or Algiers and send the full document set with every shipment.
Recycled plastics, our first product line
Post-consumer PET from beverage bottles, hot-washed and ground to flake, with HDPE and PP grades available on request. Further raw materials will follow as we grow.

A Swiss company with roots on both shores
Algeria recycles only a small share of the plastic it uses, and the bottles that are collected often leave through informal channels with no documentation. European recyclers need more clean, traceable feedstock. Two Shores Materials connects the two through documented, inspected trade.
The company is new and growing step by step, starting with recycled plastics from Algerian producers and adding further raw materials over time.
