revalyu Resources commissions second PET recycling plant in India
revalyu Resources, a leading chemical PET recycling company headquartered in Germany, has commissioned its second PET recycling plant at its site in Nashik, India. Claimed as world’s largest of its kind, the PET recycling site consists of three independent recycling plants.
The recent commissioning of the second plant means the site now recycles over 20 million used PET bottles a day into 160 tonnes per day of high quality PET chips and PET polymer.
The third plant is fully financed as part of the US$100 million investment, and under construction which will add a further 120 tonnes per day of capacity in Q3 2025. This will increase the site’s recycling capacity to approximately 35 million post-consumer plastic bottles a day and total production capacity to 280 tonnes per day.

The site uses advanced patented glycolysis-based recycling technologies which produces recycled PET with 75% less water and 91% less energy consumption compared to conventional PET manufacturing
The revalyu Group’s Managing Director Jan van Kisfeld stated: “Our new plant demonstrates two critical achievements: first, that this chemical recycling process is commercially viable on a global scale, and second, that it operates with an impressively low environmental footprint.”
revalyu Resources will set up a 240 tonnes per day PET recycling facility in the US by 2027 and has plans to expand globally with partnerships to increase its production to over 1000 tonnes per day by 2030.
