Suez Circular Polymer recycling plant in Thailand earns PCX accreditation

Suez Circular Polymer (SCP), the plastics recycling subsidiary of Paris-based global environmental services provider Suez group, has announced its plastic recycling plant in Bang Phli, Thailand, has been accredited by the Plastic Credit Exchange (PCX) plastic offset platform. 

SCP says the plant is the first processor in Thailand to be recognized by PCX based on an independent assessment conducted by auditing company Pricewaterhouse Coopers, based in New York. This confirms Suez's operations follow PCX's Plastic Pollution Reduction Standard, which provides a framework for the implementation of a credible and verifiable plastic offsetting program.

"The plastic pollution crisis is a global problem that requires a global solution,” says Richard De Guzman, manager of PCX Standards and Compliance. “Expanding it to partners outside of the Philippines not only means we are expanding our impact footprint but also helping Thailand achieve its goal of 100 percent recycling by 2030. We look forward to Suez's contribution to the innovation needed in this space and are excited to see operations begin this month." 

"The PCX certification recognizes Suez's commitment to offering concrete and reliable solutions for the recycling of plastic waste, in line with the Suez Shaping 2030 strategy to help build a sustainable environment,” says Stephane Heddesheimer, CEO of Suez Recycling & Recovery Asia, based in Hong Kong. “By partnering with SCP for their plastic waste, our clients can effectively deliver on their plastic reduction road map.”
