Jakarta, 14 August 2024: Coca-Cola Europacific Partners Indonesia (CCEP Indonesia) hosted a Sustainability Tour, inviting national and regional stakeholders involved in addressing plastic pollution and promoting a circular economy. Participants, including representatives from the Regional Knowledge Centre for Marine Plastic Debris of ERIA (Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia), visited CCEP Indonesia’s bottle-to-bottle collection center in Bantar Gebang and Amandina Bumi Nusantara, a joint venture recycling facility with Dynapack Asia.
This bottle-to-bottle initiative highlights CCEP Indonesia's tangible steps towards sustainability, with an ambitious goal to eliminate virgin plastic use in bottle production by 2030. By 2025, the company aims to use 50% recycled PET material in its bottle production and ensure 100% of its packaging is recyclable. Through waste reduction and resource conservation, CCEP Indonesia demonstrates its commitment to creating a circular economy for plastic bottles in Indonesia.
At the Bantar Gebang collection centre, participants witnessed the pivotal role of waste pickers, referred to by CCEP Indonesia as ‘recycling heroes.’ These individuals collect and deliver PET bottles to the facility, which are then sorted and pressed into compact bales for further processing.
To support its sustainability programme, CCEP Indonesia and Dynapack Asia launched the Mahija Parahita Nusantara Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering collection centres and partners across Indonesia. The foundation operates 36 collection centres, collaborates with 2,469 partners, and supports over 61,725 recycling heroes, offering education and other benefits to workers and their families.
During the tour, participants learned about the bottle recycling process, including the sorting, cleaning, and transforming of bottles into plastic pellets at Amandina Bumi Nusantara. These pellets are then used to produce new bottles, completing the closed-loop recycling process.
The tour concluded with a discussion, during which CCEP Indonesia reaffirmed its commitment to Extended Stakeholder Responsibility (ESR) and urged stakeholders across the plastic value chain to support Indonesia's circular economy efforts.
‘We hope that the government, the private sector, and the public will collaborate to drive a circular economy for plastics in Indonesia,’ CCEP Indonesia concluded.
