CSR Activities
Protecting frontline health care workers - PPE suit initiative
IVL has distributed medical grade PPE suits to frontline healthcare workers across Thailand and plans to support expand this program into more countries. These suites are made from recycled post-consumer PET bottles which are extruded into high quality yarns. By using post-consumer bottles as feed stock, we give values to waste supporting better collection. This initiative illustrates that Indorama Ventures can bridge social and economic progress while increasing supply chain security. In addition, we also leverage our business purpose to drive social change by transforming post-consumer PET bottles and giving them a new life as coverall PPE suits through the circular economy concept.
In Thailand and across the world we are promoting waste separation and PET bottle collection and recycling for the benefit of our environment. The global expansion of our PPE suits donation efforts to countries most in need, aims to address societal issues and support the local community where we operate. At present, we are working on the distribution of 1,000 PPE suits to India.
With the support of CSR partners in Thailand, 36,000 post-consumer PET bottles will be recycled for PPE suits production.
