The company already produces recycled PET flakes and pellets for food-grade packaging as well as for filament yarns and fibres on two Starlinger lines installed in 2022.
The new recycling lines are in operation since mid-2024 and they triple Ganesha Ecopet’s annual production of bottle-grade rPET, raising from 14,000 tons to a total of 42,000 tons. The food-grade rPET caters to Indian, US and European markets. The company also aims to recycle 25% of India’s PET bottle waste by 2026.
Ganesha Ecopet also focuses on sustainable production by minimizing the process-related carbon emissions by recycling and reusing 95 % of the consumed water as well as increasing the use of renewables in plant operations.
Ganesha Ecosphere ranks among the largest rPET producers in India, recycling 9.4 billion PET bottles per year and exporting to more than 18 countries.
