Circularity

Building a Sustainable Future with PET Recycling

At APR Bharat, our mission is rooted in the principles of circularity—a concept that focuses on creating a sustainable and regenerative system where products, materials, and resources are continuously reused, reducing waste and minimizing the need for new raw materials.

What is Circularity?

Circularity is the core of a circular economy, which opposes the traditional linear model of “take, make, dispose.” Instead of this one-way flow, circularity encourages recycling, reusing, refurbishing, and remanufacturing products and materials, ensuring that nothing goes to waste. This approach not only benefits the environment but also enhances economic efficiency by creating new opportunities for businesses and industries.

PET Recycling and Circularity

In the context of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) recycling, circularity means turning used PET products, like plastic bottles, into new products—again and again. APR Bharat is at the forefront of India’s efforts to establish a fully circular PET recycling ecosystem, with the aim of creating a sustainable loop that minimizes waste and maximizes material recovery.

Key Benefits of Circularity in PET Recycling

Waste Reduction

PET waste is kept out of landfills and the environment, contributing to cleaner oceans and cities.

Resource Efficiency

Circularity reduces the need for virgin PET, lowering the demand for petroleum-based raw materials.

Energy Savings

Recycling PET requires significantly less energy than producing new PET from raw materials, cutting down on carbon emissions.

Economic Growth

A circular PET economy creates jobs in collection, processing, & manufacturing, while fostering innovation in recycling technology.
