The EUR 15 million facility will open at the start of 2025. The site is the result of Petco\u2019s partnership with recycling partner Extrupet. The latter will operate the facility, which will convert polyethylene (PET) bottles into new bottles. The venture will boost South Africa\u2019s annual food-grade rPET capacity with 15 000 tonnes.<\/p>\n<p>Extrupet\u2019s managing director Chandru Wadhwani says almost 65% of South Africa\u2019s PET plastic bottles are currently collected for recycling. \u2018With this increased capacity, we will be able to accommodate more plastic waste and strengthen South Africa\u2019s position as a circular economy leader in Africa and the world.\u2019 Wadhwani expects the recycling centre will help create a stable market for small and medium recycling players in the region. This includes the many waste pickers that source the bottles.<\/p>\n<p>Wadhwani expects the new plant will impact a number of export-oriented industries, including agriculture. \u2018The Western Cape is a large exporter of fruit to global markets,\u2019 he notes. \u2018Our recycled PET ends up in packaging like fruit punnets. Under the new European Union legislation, you cannot export into that market if your packaging does not meet their requirements for certified recycled content.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/recyclinginternational.com\/business\/business-news\/more-rpet-capacity-for-south-africa-on-the-horizona\/58431\/\">Recycling International<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-595\/\">More rPET capacity for South Africa on the horizon<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,11963,1832],"class_list":["post-133842","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-rpet","tag-south-africa"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133842","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133842"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133842\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133842"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133842"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
