Chemetall strengthens partnership with Circular Plastics Company to drive evolution in plastics recycling in Vietnam

Chemetall will provide a range of novel technologies tailored for Circular Plastics Company's facilities, which recycle post-consumer PET plastics into food-grade products in Myanmar and Vietnam. They include Gardoclean(R) cleaning agents, Gardobond(R) additives for PET/polyolefin separation and defoaming. The integration of these technologies substantially improves the quality of treated flakes, boosts productivity, and reduces energy and resource consumption. The solutions also enable the plastic recycler to produce washed flakes that comply with food contact standards.

"We are excited that our successful collaboration with Circular Plastics Company continues to strengthen, extending from Myanmar to Vietnam. As the plastics recycling industry evolves in Southeast Asia, Chemetall is dedicated to growing alongside our customers by offering differentiated PET and plastics recycling solutions and expertise that enhance quality, drive efficiency, and support the positive development of a circular economy," said Evelyn Shen, Vice President, Chemetall Asia Pacific.

"At CPC, we are committed to producing the highest-quality food-grade rPET, and Chemetall has been an exceptional partner in helping us achieve that goal. Their advanced wash chemistry not only enhances the purity and performance of our recycled materials but also aligns perfectly with our values of innovation and environmental responsibility. We're proud to work with a global leader like Chemetall whose solutions are as forward-thinking as our vision for circularity in Asia," said Marc Rudolf von Rohr, Group Chief Operating Officer, Circular Plastics Company.

Amidst the growing demand for recycled plastics in the emerging markets of Southeast Asia, the collaboration between Chemetall and Circular Plastics Company exemplifies a shared commitment to leveraging innovations to tackle process challenges, create value for new material cycles, and achieve circular economy goals.

Chemetall offers a specialized portfolio of cleaning technologies and process expertise for the plastics recycling industry, enabling customers to elevate operational productivity and product quality, while supporting the industry's shift toward a more sustainable future.
