Alpla’s recycling unit Alplarecycling has joined the Brazilian high-density PE (HDPE) recycling company Clean Bottle at its Brazil-based plastic recycling plant and has acquired a majority stake in the joint venture. The facility, located in the state of Paraná, can produce 15,000 tons of recycled HDPE annually. “Demand for sustainable packaging solutions made from recycled plastic is growing on all continents. Our customers want to reduce their CO2 consumption, and we support them. By investing in Clean Bottle, we are securing the long-term supply of our plants in Brazil with our own high-quality post-consumer recycled material (PCR),” says Dietmar Marin, managing director at ALPLArecycling.
