Oriental Green Materials Limited is committed to developing PET bottle recycling technology and ranks first in terms of market share with processing plants that recycle the largest number of PET bottles in Taiwan. In recent years, the company has furthermore increased the application value of recycled polyester through process improvements.
High-value utilization of PET bottles
Oriental Green Materials has been committed to PET recycling technology since 1988, responding quickly to international trends and continuing to expand its green production capacity. For instance, we introduced automated sorting technology to effectively reduce impurity content,and through processes such as crushing, washing, remelting and pelletizing, the quality of recycled polyester is enhanced to meet the demand for high-end bottles and long-fiber products, thus increasing the value of PET recycled materials. In addition to passing U.S. FDA certification, we have also become the first company in Taiwan approved by the Ministry of Health and Welfare to provide “recycled PET resin used for food container packaging”, becoming a strategic partner for domestic and foreign major food manufacturers in the recycling of packaging materials. We furthermore cooperate with Far Eastern New Century Corporation in the development of ocean waste polyester technology and have become one of the world’s largest suppliers of ocean recycled polyester.
Bottle to Bottle: PET bottle recycling cycle
Taiwan has a sophisticated resource recycling system and educates consumers on building sorting habits and delivering recyclables to supervised recycling and processing stations. This enables waste to undergo initial purification and concentration. After Oriental Green Materials receives the recycled PET bottles, the bottles are processed and converted to food grade rPET resin, which are then supplied to downstream manufacturers of PET bottles, filled with beverages, and then sold to consumers, forming a good circulation system and reducing waste. At the same time, the replacement of raw materials with recycled materials also effectively reduces carbon emissions.
Benefits
- In 2023, Oriental Green Material ranked first in Taiwan for its waste plastic container (PET) processing capacity.
- Replacing raw materials with recycled materials, and reducing carbon emissions by more than 100,000 tons.
