據ICIS網站7月6日報道 在泰國上市的Indorama Ventures公司（IVL）周二表示，公司正在印尼西爪哇省的Karawang建設一個新的聚對苯二甲酸乙二醇酯（PET）塑料瓶回收廠。

　　該公司在一份聲明中表示，該設施預計將于2023年啟動，每年將回收19.2億個PET塑料瓶，以支持印尼政府減少海洋垃圾的計劃。

　　新回收廠的投資細節沒有透露。

　　IVL表示，回收廠將提供經過清洗和切碎的消費后瓶子作為PET薄片原料，生產適合食品應用的回收樹脂。

　　印尼的目標是到2025年底減少其2017年塑料碎片的70%。

　　IVL表示，瓶內常用的PET塑料為100%可回收，也是世界上收集和回收最多的塑料包裝。

　　IVL的PET、綜合氧化物和衍生物（IOD）和纖維業務首席執行官D K Agarwal表示：“讓廢物作為新瓶子的原料具有經濟價值，也推動了廢物收集系統的改進。”

　　正如2019年宣布的那樣，IVL計劃到2025年在全球回收至少75萬噸PET，計劃投資高達15億美元。

　　Thailand's IVL to build PET recycling plant in Indonesia

　　Indorama Ventures Ltd (IVL) is building a new polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic bottle recycling plant at Karawang in west Java, Indonesia, the Thailand-listed producer said on Tuesday.

　　The facility is expected to start up in 2023 and will recycle 1.92bn PET plastic bottles annually in support of the Indonesian government’s plan to reduce ocean debris, the company said in a statement.

　　Investment details in the new recycling plant were not disclosed.

　　The recycling plant will provide the washed and shredded post-consumer bottles as PET flake feedstock to produce recycled resin suitable for food applications, IVL said.

　　Indonesia is aiming to reduce 70% of its 2017 plastic debris by the end 2025.

　　PET plastic, commonly used in bottles, is 100% recyclable and the most collected and recycled plastic packaging in the world, IVL said.

　　"Giving waste an economic value as feedstock for new bottles, also drives improvements in waste collection systems," said D K Agarwal, CEO of IVL's combined PET, integrated oxides and derivatives (IOD) and fibres business.

　　As announced in 2019, IVL aims to recycle a minimum of 750,000 tonnes of PET globally by 2025, with a planned investment of up to $1.5bn.
