Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited (IVL) announced that it has joined the Recycling Partnership, a change-agent environmental non-profit leader improving how America recycles. IVL’s collaboration with The Recycling Partnership will promote the U.S. residential recycling rates and increase availability of recycled PET to meet the global recycled content commitments.

The Recycling Partnership is the only organization in the United States that engages the full recycling supply chain from the corporations that manufacture products and packaging to local governments charged with recycling, to industry end-markets, haulers, material recovery facilities, and converters.

Indorama Ventures is among a growing list of 46 organizations and The Recycling Partnership funders, including PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, Target, Amazon, Keurig-Dr. Pepper, and Colgate-Palmolive, who are trying to transform the U.S. recycling system for the good of the economy, communities and planet.

The Indorama Ventures believes that the recycling of PET packaging is one of the most responsible solutions for the preservation of resources and the reduction of PET containers in landfills.

“Sustainability and social responsibility are integral parts of our purpose, said Yashovardhan Lohia, Executive Director and Chief Recycling Officer of Indorama Ventures. We see the recycling of PET at the very core of our contribution to the global effort to create a circular economy, which is why we are investing US$1.5 billion in improving recycling throughout the world with partners such as The Recycling Partnership. Supporting the change agents’ efforts to make real, measurable, change to capture as much quality recyclable material as possible in communities across the U.S is critical to manufacturers like Indorama Ventures who want to decrease the amount of PET material going to landfill and losing the value from recycling.”
