苏伊士亚洲首座塑料回收设施
致力于解决塑料污染危机,缓解气候变化
苏伊士今天宣布在泰国Bang Phli地区的循环聚合物设施正式投入运营。这是苏伊士在亚洲的第一座塑料回收再造设施,凸显苏伊士在突如其来的新冠肺炎疫情之下仍致力于改善环境和建设更可持续发展社会的雄心。该项目把在泰国收集而来的3万吨塑料包装废料转化为消费后可回收(PCR)塑料,作为解决塑料污染危机的长期方案。此外,设施的水回用率达到94%,是泰国当地水回用率最高的同类回收设施之一,每年可避免3.5万吨温室气体排放,相当于种植150万棵树。
全球每年生产3亿吨塑料,其中50%用于包装,每年有超过800万吨的塑料垃圾被弃置于海洋中,当中主要来源于东南亚。在泰国,每年200万吨塑料垃圾中仅约四分之一得以回收。
苏伊士亚洲地区首席执行官郭仕达表示:“我们需要重新思考使用和处理塑料的方式。虽然塑料为我们的日常生活带来便利,但海洋中数百万吨垃圾产生的后果也相当令人担忧,不仅危害环境和健康,也造成了经济损失。因此,我们需要一个长远之计,而这样的解决方案已在今天产生了。苏伊士在欧洲以外首座塑料回收设施的正式投运振奋人心,这将有助于鼓励东南亚向循环经济转变,并扭转塑料污染危机的形势。我们期待与塑料价值链的所有参与者紧密合作,向着无塑海洋的目标更进一步。”
苏伊士循环聚合物设施回收低密度聚乙烯(LDPE)和线性低密度聚乙烯(LLDPE)塑料。它是泰国最大的LDPE回收设施之一,以最高标准合规运营。项目还汲取了苏伊士来自法国的塑料实验室PLASTlab®专家的丰富经验,得到了集团强有力的支持,可以定义、分析、测量及检测,并配制生产回收塑胶,以满足客户的特定需求。
生产1吨再生塑料可节省5桶石油,相当于减少1.6吨二氧化碳排放量。每年,苏伊士集团在全球9座专业设施中处理近40万吨塑料垃圾,并生产15万吨循环聚合物。
苏伊士是国际终结塑料垃圾联盟的创始成员,也是泰国可持续塑胶及废物管理组织(泰国PPP 塑料)的一员,旨在与利益相关者合作以保护海洋、守护环境。

First SUEZ plastic recycling plant in Asia dedicated to
reversing plastic pollution crisis and mitigating climate change
SUEZ today announced the official opening of the SUEZ Circular Polymer Plant in Bang Phli, Thailand – the Group’s first plastic recycling plant in Asia. It underscores SUEZ’s ambition to commit to improving the environment and building a more sustainable society despite the unprecedented times we are in due to COVID-19. The plant converts 30,000 tonnes of Thailand’s plastic packaging waste into post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic as a long-term solution to the plastic pollution crisis. It also has one of the highest water reuse rates for recycling plants in Thailand at 94%, and avoids 35,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually, equivalent to planting 1.5 million trees.
The world produces 300 million tonnes of plastic every year, and 50% of it is used as packaging. Globally, more than 8 million tonnes of plastic waste are dumped into the ocean, of which Southeast Asia is a major contributor. In Thailand, only about one quarter of its 2 million tonnes of plastic waste is recycled per year.
“We need to rethink the ways we use and treat plastic. While plastic brings convenience to our everyday lives, it comes with the alarming consequence of millions of tonnes of waste in our oceans, resulting in adverse environmental impact and health effect as well as resultant economic losses,” said Steve Clark, CEO of SUEZ Asia. “We call for a long-term approach and such solutions already exist in our communities today. We are excited to open the Group’s first plastic recycling facility outside of Europe that will help encourage Southeast Asia to transform towards a circular economy and reverse the tidal wave of plastic pollution crisis. We look forward to working closely with all actors of the plastics value chain to bring us closer to a plastic free ocean.”
The SUEZ Circular Polymer Plant recycles low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) plastic. It is one of Thailand’s largest LDPE recycling plants and operates in the highest level of compliance. It is strongly supported by the experience of specialists from PLAST’lab®, SUEZ’s plastic laboratory originated from France, that allows the plant to qualify, characterise, measure and formulate new recycled plastics to fit customer’s specific needs.
Producing 1 tonne of recycled plastic saves 5 barrels of oil, which is equivalent to 1.6 tonnes of CO2. Each year, SUEZ processes nearly 400,000 tonnes of plastic waste in nine specialist facilities around the world and produces 150,000 tonnes of circular polymers.
SUEZ is a founding member of the international Alliance to End Plastic Waste, and part of Thailand’s Public Private Partnership for Sustainable Plastic and Waste Management (Thai PPP Plastics) to collaborate with stakeholders to help protect the ocean and conserve the environment.
The opening ceremony of SUEZ Circular Polymer Plant is marked by the presence of (from left) Jerome Le Borgne Southeast Asia Project Development Director Recycling and Recovery SUEZ; Olivier Richard, Embassy of France; Krittika Panprasert, Director of Tax Incentive Bureau, Thai Customs Department; Sumate Teeraniti, Deputy of Samutprakarn Province Governor; Sakchai Patiparnpreechavud, Vice President, Polyolefins and Vinyl Business, Chemicals Business, SCG; Amnuay Suwannarak, Director of Samutprakarn Industrial Works, Samutprakan Provincial Industrial Office; and David Bourge, General Manager of SUEZ Circular Polymer, in Bang Phli. The SUEZ Circular Polymer plastic recycling plant is officially open in December 2020 with the aim to contribute to Thailand’s 2030 goal to reduce plastic waste. It is one of Thailand’s largest LDPE recycling plants, recycling packaging waste from local shopping malls, express logistics companies, beverage producers and electronics manufacturers. |
