The ALPLA Group and PTT Global Chemical are opening the state-of-the-art ENVICCO recycling plant in Thailand. With an annual production capacity of 30,000 tonnes of recycled, food-grade PET and 15,000 tonnes of recycled HDPE, it is one of the largest recycling plants for these plastics in Asia.

After around 18 months of construction, production is set to start at the ENVICCO joint venture. With this plant, the two companies will strengthen the region's circular economy and supply the growing markets with high-quality recycled material.

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.

ALPLA and PTT Global Chemical open a large plastics recycling plant equipped with state-of-the-art technology in Thailand.

"Demand for recycled, sustainable packaging materials is rising sharply in Southeast Asia, and high-quality plastics have a key role to play here. With this new plant, we are now applying our many years of expertise in the treatment and processing of packaging made from post-consumer recycled resins in Thailand," stated Günther Lehner, ALPLA Chairman.

ALPLA contributes more than 25 years of recycling experience to the joint venture. It will supply its production facilities in Asia with recycled material and is also fostering the circular economy at the local level.

With the plant, majority shareholder GC supports sustainable development in the region, moving it towards resource-conserving business and lifestyles.

"GC is proud to reveal that ENVICCO is ready for commercial operation. Used plastics within the Kingdom of Thailand will make up 100% of the raw materials processed by ENVICCO’s cutting-edge production technologies to transform used plastics into valuable products," said Kongkrapan Intarajang, Chief Executive Officer and President, GC.

The 30,000-square-meter plant is on a plot of land measuring a good 90,000 square meters at the Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate. There is, therefore, also space for future capacity expansions.

In early 2021, the ALPLA Group 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 and 74,000 tonnes of rHDPE.
