The “PET Bottles for a Better Tomorrow” is an activity under “Wacoal We Care” project, which aims to promote waste reduction among communities through waste separation and collecting PET bottles for production of Wacoal products.
The company aims to transform one ton of PET bottles, which is equivalent to approximately 45,000 600-milliliter drinking water bottles, to be collected every month for three years. Indorama Ventures will recycle and transform the bottles into high quality yarns, ready to manufacture various Wacoal products under “Eco Bra” concept. It is estimated that each lady undergarment will utilize yarns recycled from approximately three PET bottles. The first handover event took place at Indorama Polyester Industries Public Company Limited in Nakhon Pathom province.
