By recycling 150 billion PET bottles, Indorama Ventures has helped avoid an estimated 3.8 million tons of CO₂ emissions over the product lifecycle
Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited, a global sustainable chemical company, announced it has recycled more than 150 billion post-consumer PET bottles since 2011.
This significant milestone underscores the company’s long-term commitment to circular economy practices and its sustained investment in global recycling infrastructure.
With more than 20 recycling facilities across 11 countries, supported by strong business partnerships and optimized operations, Indorama Ventures collectively recycles 789 bottles every second — transforming used PET into high-quality recycled PET (rPET) resins and other circular materials. These are used across various industries globally, supporting Indorama Ventures and its customers in achieving their sustainability goals.
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.”
Beyond the positive benefits of recycling and reusing PET, this milestone also delivers measurable environmental and social impact. By recycling 150 billion PET bottles, Indorama Ventures has helped avoid an estimated 3.8 million tons of CO₂ emissions over the product lifecycle and diverted 2.8 million tons of plastic waste from landfills and the environment.
As global demand for recycled materials grows, Indorama Ventures reaffirms its commitment to expanding recycling capacity, investing in innovation, and working with stakeholders across the value chain to accelerate the shift toward a circular economy.
