Mono-material PET closures and tethered-cap 1881 necks eliminate separation steps, while clear or light-blue colour streams maximise rPET yield. Our take-back programme in Kenya collected 4 200 t of post-consumer bottles in 2024, feeding a regional wash plant and closing the loop within 400 km.

Chemically recycled PET via glycolysis will reach 50 % of our output by 2026, cutting virgin resin demand 9 000 t annually.

Blockchain QR codes on preforms allow reclaimers to verify resin grade and additive load, increasing rPET purity to 99 %. The result is a self-reinforcing cycle that turns waste into high-value feedstock while meeting EU PPWR 2030 recycled-content quotas.
