Aloxe: In France, the new plant starts production at the beginning of July, and by 2024 will have a capacity of 50,000 t of food-grade rPET pellets. In Italy, we are doubling our rPET pellet capacity to 30,000 t. And our Polish project is set to produce 40,000 t of rPET pellets by spring 2024. With these capacities, we are the independent leader in rPET pellets in Europe. We aim to keep expanding in the market and consolidate our position by considering acquisitions and greenfield projects. PETplanet: What suggestions do you have for establishing an industrial value chain for rPET? What challenges do you see at the moment and in the future? Aloxe: Our customers’ main expectations are to guarantee highquality product, standardised and consistent with time. In today’s economic context, excellent processability of rPET in applications is a key. In other words, by gradually replacing virgin PET with recycled PET, we ensure a high level of material mastery for our customers. We draw on the best assets and skills to commit to our customers. www.aloxe.one E N D L E S S I N N O V A T I O N S I N C E 1 9 1 9 Two new Erema Vacunite systems are installed in France.
