What is the 'Zero Landfill' project announced by Indorama in the Philippines, and how does it achieve zero waste to landfill?

Indorama's 'Zero Landfill' project at the PETValue recycling plant in the Philippines eliminates landfill disposal by integrating cross-industry collaboration: post-consumer PET bottles are recycled into food-grade rPET via IndoNova’s operations, while non-recyclable components (bottle caps and labels) are diverted to ecoloop—a resource recovery brand under Republic Cement—and used as alternative fuel in cement kilns. This closed-loop system ensures all incoming plastic waste is either chemically or thermally recovered, with no residual material sent to landfill.

Why is the PETValue factory considered a milestone for plastic recycling in the Philippines?

The PETValue factory is the first dedicated facility in the Philippines capable of bottle-to-bottle recycling of PET into food-grade packaging, made possible through a joint venture between Indorama, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners Philippines, and Republic Cement. Its significance lies in combining advanced PET purification technology with industrial-scale thermal recovery of non-recyclable fractions—establishing a fully integrated circular solution that sets a national benchmark for scalable, commercially viable plastic waste management.
