SUEZ supports Thailand in recycling plastic waste

June 9, 2019 Off By Sebastian Reisig

SUEZ will build a recycling plant that turns plastic waste into circular polymers, in Bang Phli district, near Bangkok. This plant will contribute to Thailand’s ambitious 2030 target to achieve 100% plastic recycling. This new project strengthens SUEZ’s presence in Southeast Asia and confirms its position as an expert in plastic recycling worldwide.

The plant, will convert 30,000 tons per year of locally collected polyethylene film waste1 into highquality post-consumer recycled plastic (PCR). It will thus produce quality secondary materials for the plastic industry. The plant will be equipped with an advanced water treatment system that minimizes water usage and will meet the highest level of local environmental standards. Part of the energy used by the plant is powered by roof top solar panels further improving the site’s environmental footprint. Construction works are expected to be completed by mid-2020.
