Indorama Ventures Promotes PET Sustainability at Opening Ceremony of the Ocean Waste Management Project
On Friday 20th December 2019, Indorama Ventures took part in the opening ceremony of the Ocean Waste Management Project area with an educational exhibition on recycling PET. Mr. Warawut Silpa-archa Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, diplomats, representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, community leaders, students, locals, and other organizations were in attendance, visiting each area of the project. This includes a no-smoking beach, waste collection buoy and boats and exhibitions from both the public and private sector. IVL also distributed shirts made from recycled PET bottles turned into fibers by our recycled products brand DEJA™.
This project was initiated by the Department of Marine and Coastal resources to develop cooperation in marine waste management. The area used is part of Kodpor Public Park in Rayong, stated as a pilot area with plans to expand nationwide in response to the government policy about waste management systems. The development plan to manage the complete system of marine waste management involves solving the problem at the source, which is proper disposal of waste and reduced usage, requiring the cooperation of all sectors.
