Climate Change
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.Climate change is the defining crisis of our time, and at APR Bharat, we understand the critical role that responsible recycling and sustainable practices can play in mitigating its impacts. By reducing the demand for virgin plastic and minimizing greenhouse gas emissions, PET recycling can contribute to the fight against climate change.
Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperature and weather patterns, primarily driven by human activities like deforestation, industrial processes, and the burning of fossil fuels. These activities release large amounts of greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, which trap heat in the atmosphere and cause global warming.
Plastic production is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. From extracting raw materials to manufacturing and disposal, every stage of plastic’s life cycle adds to the carbon footprint. If not properly managed, plastic waste, when incinerated or left in landfills, continues to release GHGs, worsening the climate crisis.
As part of India’s broader efforts to combat climate change, APR Bharat works to
Promote PET recycling as an effective solution to reduce the plastic industry’s carbon footprint.
Collaborate with industry partners and government bodies to advocate for policies that prioritize sustainability and climate action.
Encourage innovations in recycling technologies that lower emissions and enhance recycling efficiency.
By integrating climate considerations into our recycling initiatives, we aim to contribute to global climate goals and create a more sustainable future for all.
Why choose us?
Recycling PET uses less energy than producing new plastic, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of plastic packaging.
By recycling PET, we cut down the demand for virgin plastic made from fossil fuels, preserving natural resources and reducing emissions related to extraction and processing.
A circular PET recycling system keeps materials in use, reducing the need for energy- intensive production and minimizing waste.
