“ In my opinion, any island outside of Java is an attractive market because it has a low competition rate and houses a large collection of good quality bottles. ”
We have two developments that have taken place at Polindo Utama. We’ve been approached by numerous non-government organisations as well as multinational corporations who are trying to promote their sustainable products or eco-friendly products by integrating our recycled PET flakes into their products. To cater to this growing demand, we have installed new machinery and equipment which combines the use of recycled PET flakes with the production process. This, therefore, results in the manufacture of PET sheet films or 3-layer technology that we use later on to create PET cups or trays.
What we have seen is that countries such as Japan and Taiwan have a high collection rate of recycled plastic hence we are looking to create a fully-integrated control system in our supply chain in addition to running an effective as well as efficient processing plant in order to be able to compete on the international scale. Nonetheless, we remain focused in providing our customers with the highest quality flakes in the world.
Our goal is to be adaptive and responsive amidst all these changes. New technological advancements such as the introduction of jumbo bags made from 100% recycled PET chips and PET seed films using 3-layer technology means that there is a growing market demand for high-quality PET flakes. As such, we have made it our priority to supply the market with these premium quality PET flakes as evident by adding onto our cutting-edge machinery and equipment in addition to conducting more aggressive product testing.
Our new 3-layer technology is utilised in the manufacture of PET seed films where the two outer layers utilise virgin materials and the inner layer is made up of recycled materials hence it is safe for use as a food and beverage packaging. Furthermore, we are looking to support the 3R initiative – Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle – in Indonesia in order to raise greater awareness on plastic recycling methods.
Our recycling centre is an important element in becoming a fully-integrated recycled plastic manufacturer in Indonesia. We believe that there are numerous areas for growth in our supply chain as well as the processing system in which our collection centre can play a significant role in this trajectory. Polindo Utama’s recycling centre can serve as a case study to better understand the latest developments taking place in the market given that any changes have an impact on our supply chain. Moreover, we have been approached by large-scale companies that have shown strong interests in using our PET flakes in the production line of their goods.
In my opinion, any island outside of Java is an attractive market because it has a low competition rate and houses a large collection of good quality bottles.
We have seen a growing number of potential investors who are interested in working with Polindo Utama. We believe that this is caused by the issuance of stricter global and state environmental regulations as seen in China and France. This is an opportunity for us to better understand any possible changes affecting the plastic manufacturing industry that may occur in the future. Going forward, we remain open in partnering with any investors for the future growth of our company.
How you see Polindo Utama today will change in the near future. We are driven by our vision, we are motivated in accomplishing our goals, and lastly we have the necessary resources to lead forge onwards thus we are confident that we will become the number one leader in our industry.
