ALPHA to invest €50m per year in expanding recycling activities

Source：Adsale Plastics Network Date ：2021-02-23 Editor ：JK

The ALPLA Group, one of the world leaders in the development, production and recycling of plastic packaging, is to invest up to €50 million a year on average between now and 2025 in further expanding its recycling activities. In particular, it plans to globalize its activities in the area of high-quality recyclates in order to close the materials cycle in as many regions as possible.

 

In 2018, the ALPLA Group signed the Global Commitment of the New Plastics Economy (an initiative of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation) and committed to spending a total of €50 million to expand its recycling activities up to 2025. ALPLA is now significantly increasing this investment target. From 2021, an average of €50 million a year will be ring-fenced specifically for recycling.

 

"We succeeded in initiating bottle-to-bottle projects around the world, including in Asia, Europe and Central America. We nevertheless continue to see increasing demand on the part of our customers all over the world," noted Georg Lässer, Head of Corporate Recycling at ALPLA. This sustained demand gives ALPLA the opportunity to kick-start further investment projects, added Georg Lässer.

The ALPLA Group will invest an average of €50 million a year up to 2025 on expanding and globalizing its recycling activities.


Günther Lehner, Chairman of the Company Advisory Board, stressed that the company will focus on high-quality application areas in new regions. "Our aim is to establish a bottle-to-bottle cycle – including in regions in which the recycling of waste does not currently play a large part."

 

According to Georg Lässer, there are long-term development opportunities in countries outside of Europe as customers around the world has been enquiring about packaging made with a proportion of recycled materials, including in Africa, the Middle East, South East Asia, China and India.

 

Georg Lässer continued that, the European market is now highly competitive. The Group secured a strong market position early on in Western Europe with its own plants and partnerships, and this is something it wants to further consolidate.

 

Günther Lehner further commented, "Our plants in Austria and Poland have done pioneering work. Day in, day out, we are demonstrating that used packaging is of value and that there is great potential in a recycling economy. We want to boost this understanding in more countries."

 

Its move into HDPE recycling in 2019 represents another milestone for ALPLA. This is being continued with the construction of a plant in Toluca, Mexico, which is scheduled to go into production in autumn 2021. The company is also currently creating a PET and HDPE recycling plant in Thailand together with a cooperation partner.

 

Capacities at the existing plants in Austria, Poland and Germany have been expanded over the past two years and just recently, ALPLA announced the installation of an rPET extrusion system at one of its own preform plants in Italy. In all, the annual capacity of the ALPLA recycling companies, joint ventures and partnerships amounts to approximately 130,000 tonnes of PET and 60,000 tonnes of PE.
