It is projected to handle 30,000 metric tons of plastic a year or almost 2 billion pieces of plastic bottles. “Through PETValue, Indorama Ventures and Coca-Cola are introducing to the Philippines green technologies that will help strengthen Filipino’s commitment to sustainability—a major step in making our World Without Waste vision a reality in the Philippines,” CCBPI CEO Gareth McGeown said.
