“Nothing Speaks against the Use of Recyclates for Demanding Components”

Demand for recyclates is still rising, and many processors are therefore relying on their own recycling processes. Zeppelin supports them.

Material handling: the right conveying method is also crucial for product quality.

Joint Venture of Alpla and PTT Global Chemical

Start of Production at Thailand‘s Largest Plastics Recycling Plant

 With an annual production capacity of 45,000 tonnes of recycled PET and HDPE, Envicco is one of the largest recycling plants for these plastics in Asia.

30,000 of recycled, food-grade PET and 15,000 tonnes of recycled HDPE – the packaging and recycling specialist Alpla and the chemical company PTT Global Chemical (GC) have realized Thailand‘s largest plastics recycling plant of its kind. After around 18 months of construction, production is set to start at the Envicco joint venture. Located in an economic zone on the coast of the south-eastern province of Rayong, the plant is equipped with the latest recycling technology and production lines to manufacture high-quality plastic recyclates with approval from the USFDA.

The 30,000-square-metre plant is on a plot of land measuring a good 90,000 square metres at the Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate. There is, therefore, also space for future capacity expansions. ‚We have long-term plans to promote the bottle-to-bottle cycle not only here in Thailand, but across Asia and other regions around the world. Carbon emissions and waste can be reduced through optimized resource consumption,‘ emphasizes Dietmar Marin, Alpla Managing Director Recycling.

In early 2021, the Alpla announced that it would invest an average of 50 million euros a year until 2025 in the ongoing expansion of its recycling activities. In particular, it plans to globalize its activities in the area of high-quality recyclates to close the materials cycle in as many regions as possible. In total, the annual production capacity of Alpla´s recycling companies and cooperations around the world amounts to approximately 203,000 tonnes of rPET (recycled PET) and 74,000 tonnes of rHDPE (recycled HDPE).
