Recycled plastic

30,000 tonnes of plastic treated

a year

75,000 tonnes of CO2 avoided

Treating 30,000 tonnes of plastic waste a year, the plant will avoid the emission of over 75,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases generated the production of virgin plastic.

The installation will be equipped with a high-performance water treatment system, reducing the amount of water needed for recycling. The plant will be partly powered by solar panels on the roof, optimising the site s environmental footprint.

The project contributes to the goals of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, of which SUEZ is a founding member. Its ambition is to eradicate plastic pollution in the environment, and especially in the oceans.

THAILAND

In 2020, SUEZ began constructing a plant to recycle plastic waste into recycled polymers in Bang Phli, near Bangkok. The plant will contribute to the Thai government s ambitious target of recycling 100% of the plastic collected by 2030 and respond to growing demand for recycled plastic in local industry.

Our Group has the most innovative solutions and technologies for plastic

recycling. Our first plastic recycling facility outside Europe was opened last

December, after construction was finalised at the height of the pandemic, and is now operational. It will help

South-East Asia move towards a circular economy model.
