Technology’s role in developing sustainable plastics
Plastic bottles don’t have to end up in landfills. Suntory’s Flake-to-Preform (FtoP) Direct Recycle Technology creates new PET bottles from used PET bottles, minimizing the impact on the environment and contributing to the circular economy.
Jeff Wooster, Global Sustainability Director at Dow, chatted with Yuko Koshiishi, Senior General Manager of Corporate Sustainability for Suntory, about how this kind of technology can further innovate plastics to advance the circular economy and how Japanese industry approaches bottle-to-bottle recycling through understanding consumer behavior and working with partners.
