At Bumi Indus Padma Jaya, we believe that post-consumer PET bottles are not waste – these are valuable resource and should be treated as such – collected, recycled, and kept in a CIRCULAR ECONOMY. In our 20,000 sq. mt. production facility in Jombang, East Java, Indonesia, we recycle about 2 billion post-consumer PET bottles every year which would otherwise pollute of lands and oceans. We produce hot-washed PET bottle flakes and food grade recycled PET resin enabling production of food grade PET bottles in a closed loop and help reduce consumption of virgin PET in packaging. Independent analyses of substitute products’ show that PET packaging has the lowest impact on environment. Life cycle analyses confirm that PET is significantly greener as compared to its substitutes. It creates less greenhouse gases, uses less energy, and creates less waste. There is an urgent need to increase recycled content in packaging in general and for that, two things need to happen - firstly, companies need to start designing products with recycling in mind. We must shift away from "Disposable" and move towards "Recyclable". And secondly, we need to boost the sorting of waste at its source, so that bottle collection can increase, and better-quality bottles reach recyclers which would further enhance the quality of recyclates. So, "Let’s dispose right and recycle right".
