Iranpolymer\/Baspar <\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Alplarecycling, the recycling division of Austrian packaging manufacturer Alpla, has acquired a majority stake in Clean Bottle, a Brazilian HDPE recycler.<\/p>\n

As part of the new joint venture, the companies will operate a rHDPE plant in S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9 dos Pinhais, Paran\u00e1. The facility, previously solely owned by Clean Bottle, has an annual output capacity of 15,000 tonnes of recycled HDPE.<\/p>\n

The terms of the deal were not disclosed.<\/p>\n

Through the acquisition, Alpla has entered the South American plastics recycling market. Its recycling division already produces recycled HDPE and PET at 13 plants across nine countries: Austria, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain, Romania, Thailand, South Africa, and Mexico.<\/p>\n

Selecting the right partner in Brazil, the largest plastics recycling market in South America, was \u2018key\u2019, Alpla said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Brazil is the beginning of our recycling activities in South America and therefore the choice of partner is of key importance,\u201d said Christoph Schneider, regional managing director South America. \u201cClean Bottle is an established manufacturer and, as a long-standing supplier, shares our quality standards,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Clean Bottle\u2019s recycling plant boasts modern infrastructure, self-sufficient rainwater treatment, and the highest quality standards, Alpla said in a statement. The 15,000 square metre facility employs around 120 people. The company\u2019s parent company, Clean Plastic Group, operates a waste collection centre in Curitiba which the new joint venture plans to expand in the future.<\/p>\n

Alpla uses an average of 32% post-consumer recycled material in its production of HDPE packaging in Brazil. The company said it is following the trend for higher use of recycled materials in packaging. The acquisition of Clean Bottle allows it to secure a long-term supply of rHDPE for its operations in South America.<\/p>\n

HDPE is the\u00a0second most recycled plastic\u00a0in Brazil after PET, with a 2023 rate of 28.1%. In 2023, the country produced 939,000 tonnes of post-consumer resign, with rPET accounting for 41.1% and rHDPE for 20.6%.<\/p>\n

Brazil\u2019s plastics recycling rate fell to 20.6% in 2023 from a high of 25.6% the year before.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Alpla said its commitment to the circular economy is \u2018paying off\u2019. It announced a goal to\u00a0double its current plastic recycling capacity\u00a0to 700,000 tonnes\/year by 2030.<\/p>\n

Alpla currently invests at least \u20ac50 million a year in plastics recycling. It has recently \u00a0ramped up its investments outside of Europe, opening its\u00a0first PET recycling plant in South Africa,\u00a0acquiring Egyptian bottle manufacturer Taba, and now expanding into Brazil.<\/p>\n
