Recycling record revealed

You might well expect the world’s largest bottle to bottle PET recycling plant to be part of a government programme in Europe or North America. But you’d be wrong.

In fact, it’s an industry initiative by the Coca-Cola system in Mexico. The investment amounted to $100 million. Capacity has reached 65,000 tonnes a year. And 1,100 jobs have been created.

No wonder the latest PetStar expansion phase was opened recently by the country’s President.
