A collaboration for shaping the future of recycling in Mexico: TOMRA Recycling & Indorama Ventures

Asker, Norway

The recycling sector in Mexico is witnessing the collaboration of two companies, TOMRA Recycling and Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited. Dedicated and committed to enable greater sustainability and an environmentally friendly way of production and consumption, both companies seek to promote the future of plastics recycling in Mexico by producing recycled plastic of the highest quality.

In 2014, Indorama Ventures, a global chemical producer, acquired the PET recycling Plant, located in Zapopan, Jal. (Mexico). This acquisition allowed the company to pursue its strategy of expanding into high-growth regions such as Central and Latin America. Supported by TOMRA Recycling’s advanced sorting machines, which effectively sort incoming PET bottles and PET flakes, the expansion of line 2 in Indorama Ventures EcoMex was concluded this year.

Indorama Ventures entered the recycling business in 2011 and operates production facilities that transform post-consumer PET bottles into flakes, rPET resins and recycled polyester yarns. "Our close, highly personal relationship with TOMRA has been key to the selection of the equipment and technology, as well as the service they provided. They have worked seamlessly with us, in person and online, responding in a timely manner to meet our requirements," said Shankar Srinivasan CEO of Indorama’s Recycling Vertical.
