Now, we are striving to enhance our recycling capabilities and become a future-ready organization through more innovative and sustainable technologies and materials. These investments will help us meet even higher sustainability standards, further reduce our carbon footprint, and fulfill Indorama Ventures’ purpose of reimagining chemistry together to create a better world”.
