Global r-PET Application Scenario
Major application( 70% ) still in Fiber
However B2B & PFY is fast catching up
PET bottle Collection Rates
Currently, 4.9 MMT of Polyester Products is consumed in India every year
Major applications: Apparels, Home Furnishing, Filling, Packaging, Straps,
Monofilament, .. etc.
Out of 4.9 MMT, 0.8 MMT is been consumed for PET bottles manufacturing
Collection Rate in India @ 70%, 0.56MMT of bottles collected for Recycling
Indias Recycling Industry: Growing @ 25% for past 4 years.
Most of the feedstock requirement is met from the domestic Market.
INDIA IS AMONG THE LARGETS RECYCLERS OF PET BOTTLES IN WORLD

Recycling activity at Reliance is pursued with basic objective of Corporate Social Responsibility towards Society and Nation
Recycling in Reliance started in the year 1997 with DuPont technology to reuse waste generated in house by Chemical Recycling process
In 2002 Reliance ventured in to mechanical recycling which uses post consumer
PET bottles to make Fibre
Today, Reliance consumes more than 2.02 billion post-consumer PET bottles
per year & established ~150 collection centres across India
Today Reliance capacity in mechanical recycling stands over 40 ktpa
RILs background in Recycling
Developed over 150 Vendors across Country
Organized awareness program for PET recycling
Established environment friendly process to convert dirty bottles into clean flakes
We have state of the art ETP system to take care of all the pollutants generated
during the process of washing
RILs initiative has generated indirect employment opportunities to over 1.50 lacs uneducated class each day
Reliance takes proud in their green fibre drive and we are the only one to be registered as Green Fibre manufacturer in India
With continuous innovation, recycled fiber has re-defined its application in filling, nonwoven and spinning segments

Environment Benefits PET
1. The Life Cycle Energy and GHG
emissions are the least in PET
compared to alternates. {1}
2. PET bottle weights have come down by
58% from 1989-2009 compared to
Glass by 11 % from 2000-2012 with
potential of breakage. {2)
3. Glass packaging requires 8.5 times
more packaging by weight compared to
PET {3}
4. In India, about 30% of perishables are
lost during transit. PET/Plastics help to
reduce these transit losses. {4}

Due to reverse logistics of glass bottles, the actual transportation
GHG footprints would be higher in India
PET Low Carbon Footprint Packaging
1. Post Consumer PET has economic value.
2. PET gets collected from all areas of consumption
3. India Per Capita PET consumption: 0.58 kg vs 10-12 kg in Developed World
4. PET collection rate, as percentage of PET domestic market sales is 80%. The
balance 20% PET remains in circulation with consumers and would enter post
consumer stream the following year.
5. Over 1.6 million waste collectors involved in PET collection
6. There are 40 plants recycling PET into Fiber and textile products ( Ganesha
Ecosphere, Shiva, Reliance, Arora,.. others)
7. There are 20 plus plants using recycled PET for polyester strapping (ITW,
Furus, Plastiblends, others)
1 Amount of PET Recycled in India (MT) in 2014-15 5,00,000
2 Land Fill Space Saved (m3) 1,581,781
3 Amount of Crude Oil Saved (T) 253,649
4 CO2 emissions reduction (T) 419,402
