The analysis looked at data from four ALPLA recycling facilities, two in Germany and two in Mexico. Results confirm the carbon emissions reduction potential of recycled plastics and the importance of bottle-to-bottle recycling.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">According to the company, 30,000 tons of rHDPE are produced per year at its Toluca recycling plant in Mexico. Production in Toluca causes 0.69 kg of CO<sub>2<\/sub>e (CO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0equivalent emissions) per kilogram. This is 70% fewer emissions than with HDPE virgin material (2.32 kg of CO<sub>2<\/sub>e per kilogram average according to\u00a0Ecoinvent\u00a0data).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">ALPLA has been operating its plant in Toluca since 2005 within the joint venture IMER (Industria Mexicana de Reciclaje S.A. de C.V.) together with Coca-Cola FEMSA and The Coca-Cola Company. It has an annual production capacity of 16,000 tons of rPET. According to the analysis, production there causes only 0.38 kg of CO<sub>2<\/sub>e per kilogram, which is 87%\u00a0less than virgin PET (2.90 kg of CO<sub>2<\/sub>e per kilogram). The company plans to increase its capacity to 51,000 tons of rPET next year. The PLANETA plant (Planta Nueva Ecolog\u00eda de Tabasco) in Cunduac\u00e1n is currently being built in cooperation with Coca-Cola FEMSA.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">ALPLA has capacity to produce 43,000 tons of rPET per year in Germany. Materials sourced from household recyclables collection are processed at the site in Bitterfeld-Wolfen, Saxony-Anhalt. Recycling PET bottles from household collection leads to a slightly higher energy requirement for washing. For example, Bitterfeld-Wolfen causes 0.93 kg of CO<sub>2<\/sub>e per kilogram of rPET. This means the recycled material still produces 68% fewer emissions than virgin material. At the PET recycling site in Bad Salzuflen, North Rhine-Westphalia, it is just 0.68 kg of CO<sub>2<\/sub>e per kilogram, which corresponds to a reduction of 77%.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><em>ptonline<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iranpolymer\/Baspar \u00a0ALPLA Group, a plastics recycler and packaging manufacturer, announced the results of life cycle assessments conducted by\u00a0c7-consult.
