Borealis and partners to build first fully integrated waste management ecosystem in Indonesia
Borouge and Borealis, in collaboration with Catalytic Finance Foundation, Pelita Mekar Semesta and Reciki Solusi Indonesia, are joining forces to establish Indonesia’s first fully integrated circular waste management ecosystem.
Sorted plastic waste in Project STOP.
This initiative is part of Borouge and Borealis’ strategic vision to accelerate a transition towards a structural change to establish a circular economy of plastics in Indonesia.
The partnership will kick off with a feasibility study funded by the Subnational Climate Fund Technical Assistance. The scope of this study is:
To develop and establish a fully integrated circular waste management and polyolefin recycling ecosystem in Indonesia
To transform plastic waste into a valuable feedstock for recycling, leveraging best industry practices and technology to produce high-quality recycled polyolefins
PT Pelita Mekar Semesta and PT Reciki Solusi Indonesia are renowned for their expertise in waste management and recycling in Indonesia. Their local knowledge and experience are invaluable in implementing effective solutions tailored to the Indonesian context, while Borouge and Borealis are complementing with their advanced technology know-how to enable the production of high-quality recycled polyolefins suitable for various applications in the market.
The parties further aim to work closely with Project STOP, an initiative co-founded by Borealis and Systemiq that partners with governments and communities in Indonesia to design and implement circular waste management systems to reduce ocean pollution.
This collaboration underscores the companies’ commitment to sustainable, circular solutions tailored to local needs. By partnering closely with the Subnational Climate Fund consortium partners, local industry partners, Borouge and Borealis aim to foster a culture of circularity, reduce waste leakages to deliver value-added sustainable solutions to meet the industry’s evolving demands for sustainable solutions.
