Why Recycling Is Essential
Recycling is one of the most impactful ways we can preserve the environment while creating real economic and social value. It diverts plastic waste from landfills, reduces pollution, and conserves limited natural resources. At Sumilon Eco PET, we treat recycling as a vital commitment — not just an industrial process.
- Recycling significantly reduces the need for landfills and incinerators, helping protect oceans and habitats.
- It conserves essential raw materials like oil, minerals, and water.
- Energy used in recycling is much lower than virgin plastic production, making the process cleaner and more sustainable.
- The reduction in air and water pollution contributes to healthier ecosystems.
- It plays a key role in job creation, especially in developing economies.
With only 7% of global plastic waste currently recycled and nearly 80% still landfilled, scaling recycling is no longer optional — it’s urgent.
Sustainable Alternative to Virgin PET
Capacity
Recycled PET A Smarter, Greener Material
Recycled PET (rPET) offers industries a reliable and sustainable alternative to virgin plastic. It retains quality while reducing environmental impact — and aligns perfectly with international safety standards for food and beverage packaging.
Recognized and approved by EFSA, FDA, and other food safety authorities
Reduces carbon emissions significantly — each 1 kg of rPET saves 3.58 kg CO₂e
Cuts dependency on fossil fuels — PET production uses up to 8% of global oil
Reduces landfill load and contributes to marine plastic reduction
Offers multiple recycling cycles, contributing to a true circular economy
