|
Title |
Recycling of PET Bottles in Jordan through Bottle-to-Bottle Technology |
|
Content |
This presentation will introduce the company’s new investment in establishing the first advanced technology for recycling PET bottles in Jordan. The bottle-to-bottle technology aims to recycle plastic bottles manufactured from PET to produce recycled plastic resin (rPET), which can then be reused in the manufacturing process of new bottles. This process complies with both local and international standards for plastic intended for food contact, contributing to environmental preservation, and reducing pollution. The facility will significantly reduce the carbon footprint of plastic bottles made from RPET, with an 87% reduction compared to bottles made from virgin PET materials. Moreover, the project aims to decrease the amount of plastic bottle waste sent to landfills. Additionally, the project seeks to enhance Jordan's industrial sector exports by exporting rPET plastic resin to Europe and the United States. Finally, it will create 100 direct job opportunities and more than 3,500 indirect jobs within the plastic waste bottle supply chains. The total investment exceeds 10 million JOD. |

Title |
Valorization of E-Waste Recycling in Jordan |
|
Content |
This presentation will introduce the company’s new investment in establishing the first advanced technology for recycling e-waste in Jordan. The company has invested in the latest or separating and sorting equipment involved in breaking down e-waste into value-added components which will be sold to suppliers of manufacturing industries. This investment will motivate the domestic market to collect and recycle e-waste instead of exporting low-value material to global markets. The plant will divert over 10,000 tons per year of electronic equipment and devices and employ 20 individuals directly in manufacturing, sales, and operations management, with an additional 100 people employed indirectly in e-waste collection and waste services. The project will be established in Al-Ghabawi and is expected to be in full operation within the next year. |
