Romanian packaging firms recycle PET
Eight international companies operating in Romania - including Ball Packaging Europe, Brau Union Romania, Coca-Cola HBC, Quadrant Amroq Beverages, Greentech and Tetra Pak - have formed a new association, Eco-Rom Ambalaje, to recover and recycle PET bottles, using the European "green dot" system. Thus far, there is only one PET recycling plant in Romania, started up by Taiwan-based Greentech at Buzau in May 2003 with an initial processing capacity of 1,300 t/y. Output of PET in Romania is around 60,000 t/y.
