Indorama Ventures, a leading sustainable chemical company, announced that they have successfully recycled more than 150 billion post-consumer PET bottles over the last 13.5 years. The achievement of the company reflects a commitment to the circular economy and sustainable investment in recycling.

Indorama Ventures now recycles around 789 bottles every second with the presence of around 20 recycling facilities across 11 countries. The transformation is supported by global business partners that help in transforming the quality of used PET into recycled PET. Moreover, this is widely used across multiple industries as a commitment towards sustainability.

Yash Lohia, Executive President of Petchem and Chairman of the ESG Council, said,

“Recycling 150 billion PET bottles is more than a milestone it reflects the power of people, purpose, and technology driving scalable, sustainable impact. We’re grateful to our consumers, customers, and partners who make this progress possible. This achievement reinforces the value of long-term thinking, strategic investment, and collaboration as we lead the shift toward a circular economy. We’re proud of how far we’ve come and are committed to going further.”

The company has been constantly working on recycling since 2011. They first received the major achievement of 50 billion bottles recycled in March 2020 and managed to double the mark by reaching 100 billion after three and a half years.

The milestone of Indorama Venture also reflects a major step in delivering a social and environmental impact, as they have helped in avoiding around 3.8 million tons of CO2 emissions and also diverted 2.8 million tons of plastic waste.
