Suntory Holdings (HD), a major Japanese beverage company, intends to establish a system to recycle all PET bottles
.
This plan is expected to be an example of the recycling of plastic resources initiated by Japan to prevent waste plastics from polluting the oceans
.
About 10% of the beverages currently sold by Suntory use recycled PET bottles from waste PET bottles
.
A circular system will be established by 2030

Suntory believes that this method can achieve the same cost production as the method of producing PET bottles by breaking down naphtha (gasoline) derived from crude oil
.
Suntory will start production and implement mass production in 2023
.
With regard to recycled PET resin, Suntory will jointly develop a system for efficient production of beverage bottles with Japan's Kyei Sangyo (Oyama City, Tochigi Prefecture)
.
Before 2030, Suntory Holdings will use recycled PET resin to produce 60% to 70% of beverage bottles, and use plant resin to produce 30% to 40%
.
The company sells PET bottled beverages in 50 countries and regions around the world, using approximately 10 billion bottles each year
.
Recycling of beverage bottles is also an issue faced by global beverage manufacturers
.
However, the mainstream overseas practice is to burn or bury PET bottles.
Japan's Ministry of the Environment formulated a plastic recycling strategy at the end of March
.
The G20 summit will be held in Osaka in late June, and it is estimated that the marine pollution countermeasures of waste plastics will also become a major topic of the meeting
.
