Committed to the Circular Economy, the Board of Directors of Enka de Colombia approved an investment in a new EKO\u00aePET production plant. This is a resin manufactured from recycled PET bottles used for food-grade packages. This project is fundamental for Enka\u2019s growth strategy, consolidating its recycling leadership in Colombia and a beacon worldwide.<\/p>\n
The new plant\u2019s capacity shall be 24,000 tons\/year and it is expected to be in operation in the year 2022. With this investment, Enka turns into one of the major Bottle-to-Bottle PET plants worldwide, reaching a total capacity of 42,000 tons of EKO\u00ae PET a year.<\/p>\n
In addition, this new investment will allow the Company to double its collection levels, to 63,500 tons of post-consumption bottles a year, significantly improving the recycling rates of Colombia, and providing great benefits to the environment and to the sector.<\/p>\n
Para realizar este proyecto se requerir\u00eda una inversi\u00f3n superior a USD 40 millones. No obstante, al ser ubicada en la planta actual de Enka se logran importantes sinergias en terrenos, edificaciones, maquinaria ya homologada para el proyecto y servicios industriales, que permiten disminuir la inversi\u00f3n de forma significativa a aproximadamente USD 28 millones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
