蘇伊士亞洲首座塑料回收設(shè)施
致力于解決塑料污染危機(jī)，緩解氣候變化
蘇伊士今天宣布在泰國Bang Phli地區(qū)的循環(huán)聚合物設(shè)施正式投入運(yùn)營。這是蘇伊士在亞洲的第一座塑料回收再造設(shè)施，凸顯蘇伊士在突如其來的新冠肺炎疫情之下仍致力于改善環(huán)境和建設(shè)更可持續(xù)發(fā)展社會(huì)的雄心。該項(xiàng)目把在泰國收集而來的3萬噸塑料包裝廢料轉(zhuǎn)化為消費(fèi)后可回收（PCR）塑料，作為解決塑料污染危機(jī)的長(zhǎng)期方案。此外，設(shè)施的水回用率達(dá)到94％，是泰國當(dāng)?shù)厮赜寐首罡叩耐惢厥赵O(shè)施之一，每年可避免3.5萬噸溫室氣體排放，相當(dāng)于種植150萬棵樹。
全球每年生產(chǎn)3億噸塑料，其中50％用于包裝，每年有超過800萬噸的塑料垃圾被棄置于海洋中，當(dāng)中主要來源于東南亞。在泰國，每年200萬噸塑料垃圾中僅約四分之一得以回收。
蘇伊士亞洲地區(qū)首席執(zhí)行官郭仕達(dá)表示：“我們需要重新思考使用和處理塑料的方式。雖然塑料為我們的日常生活帶來便利，但海洋中數(shù)百萬噸垃圾產(chǎn)生的后果也相當(dāng)令人擔(dān)憂，不僅危害環(huán)境和健康，也造成了經(jīng)濟(jì)損失。因此，我們需要一個(gè)長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)之計(jì)，而這樣的解決方案已在今天產(chǎn)生了。蘇伊士在歐洲以外首座塑料回收設(shè)施的正式投運(yùn)振奮人心，這將有助于鼓勵(lì)東南亞向循環(huán)經(jīng)濟(jì)轉(zhuǎn)變，并扭轉(zhuǎn)塑料污染危機(jī)的形勢(shì)。我們期待與塑料價(jià)值鏈的所有參與者緊密合作，向著無塑海洋的目標(biāo)更進(jìn)一步。”
蘇伊士循環(huán)聚合物設(shè)施回收低密度聚乙烯（LDPE）和線性低密度聚乙烯（LLDPE）塑料。它是泰國最大的LDPE回收設(shè)施之一，以最高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)合規(guī)運(yùn)營。項(xiàng)目還汲取了蘇伊士來自法國的塑料實(shí)驗(yàn)室PLASTlab®專家的豐富經(jīng)驗(yàn)，得到了集團(tuán)強(qiáng)有力的支持，可以定義、分析、測(cè)量及檢測(cè)，并配制生產(chǎn)回收塑膠，以滿足客戶的特定需求。
生產(chǎn)1噸再生塑料可節(jié)省5桶石油，相當(dāng)于減少1.6噸二氧化碳排放量。每年，蘇伊士集團(tuán)在全球9座專業(yè)設(shè)施中處理近40萬噸塑料垃圾，并生產(chǎn)15萬噸循環(huán)聚合物。
蘇伊士是國際終結(jié)塑料垃圾聯(lián)盟的創(chuàng)始成員，也是泰國可持續(xù)塑膠及廢物管理組織（泰國PPP 塑料）的一員，旨在與利益相關(guān)者合作以保護(hù)海洋、守護(hù)環(huán)境。
蘇伊士泰國循環(huán)聚合物設(shè)施在(左起) 蘇伊士東南亞固廢及資源管理項(xiàng)目發(fā)展總監(jiān)Jerome Le Borgne、法國領(lǐng)事館Olivier Richard、泰國海關(guān)部稅務(wù)優(yōu)惠局局長(zhǎng)Krittika Panprasert、泰國北欖府代表省長(zhǎng)Sumate Teeraniti、Chemicals Business, SCG聚烯烴和乙烯基業(yè)務(wù)副總裁 Sakchai Patiparnpreechavud、北欖府工業(yè)辦事處北欖工業(yè)工廠總監(jiān)Amnuay Suwannarak及循環(huán)聚合物項(xiàng)目總經(jīng)理David Bourge同共見證下正式開幕。
蘇伊士循環(huán)聚合物塑料回收設(shè)施于2020年12月正式運(yùn)營，旨在為泰國實(shí)現(xiàn)2030年減少塑料垃圾的目標(biāo)做出貢獻(xiàn)。它是泰國最大的LDPE回收設(shè)施之一，可回收當(dāng)?shù)刭徫镏行�、快遞公司、飲料生產(chǎn)商和電子產(chǎn)品制造商的包裝廢料。
蘇伊士集團(tuán)自19世紀(jì)末以來，不斷積累專業(yè)知識(shí)，通過保護(hù)人類健康并支持經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)，助力人們持續(xù)提高生活質(zhì)量。蘇伊士及旗下90,000名員工遍布全球五大洲，致力于保護(hù)和修復(fù)我們的自然環(huán)境要素：水、土壤和空氣。在水務(wù)管理、固廢回收再造、土壤修復(fù)和空氣治理等方面，蘇伊士提供富有彈性的創(chuàng)新型解決方案，通過“智慧”城市優(yōu)化市政和各行業(yè)的資源管理，提升其環(huán)境和經(jīng)濟(jì)效益。集團(tuán)向6,400萬人提供環(huán)境服務(wù)，生產(chǎn)飲用水71億立方米。蘇伊士還為經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展做出了積極貢獻(xiàn)，每年直接或間接創(chuàng)造了20多萬個(gè)就業(yè)崗位，作為新資源的提供者，生產(chǎn)了420萬噸再生原料。集團(tuán)的目標(biāo)是在2030年前提供100%的可持續(xù)解決方案，為我們的環(huán)境、健康和氣候帶來積極影響。蘇伊士集團(tuán)2019年的總收入達(dá)180億歐元。

First SUEZ plastic recycling plant in Asia dedicated to
reversing plastic pollution crisis and mitigating climate change
SUEZ today announced the official opening of the SUEZ Circular Polymer Plant in Bang Phli, Thailand – the Group’s first plastic recycling plant in Asia. It underscores SUEZ’s ambition to commit to improving the environment and building a more sustainable society despite the unprecedented times we are in due to COVID-19. The plant converts 30,000 tonnes of Thailand’s plastic packaging waste into post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic as a long-term solution to the plastic pollution crisis. It also has one of the highest water reuse rates for recycling plants in Thailand at 94%, and avoids 35,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually, equivalent to planting 1.5 million trees.
The world produces 300 million tonnes of plastic every year, and 50% of it is used as packaging. Globally, more than 8 million tonnes of plastic waste are dumped into the ocean, of which Southeast Asia is a major contributor. In Thailand, only about one quarter of its 2 million tonnes of plastic waste is recycled per year.
“We need to rethink the ways we use and treat plastic. While plastic brings convenience to our everyday lives, it comes with the alarming consequence of millions of tonnes of waste in our oceans, resulting in adverse environmental impact and health effect as well as resultant economic losses,” said Steve Clark, CEO of SUEZ Asia. “We call for a long-term approach and such solutions already exist in our communities today. We are excited to open the Group’s first plastic recycling facility outside of Europe that will help encourage Southeast Asia to transform towards a circular economy and reverse the tidal wave of plastic pollution crisis. We look forward to working closely with all actors of the plastics value chain to bring us closer to a plastic free ocean.”
The SUEZ Circular Polymer Plant recycles low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) plastic. It is one of Thailand’s largest LDPE recycling plants and operates in the highest level of compliance. It is strongly supported by the experience of specialists from PLAST’lab®, SUEZ’s plastic laboratory originated from France, that allows the plant to qualify, characterise, measure and formulate new recycled plastics to fit customer’s specific needs.
Producing 1 tonne of recycled plastic saves 5 barrels of oil, which is equivalent to 1.6 tonnes of CO2. Each year, SUEZ processes nearly 400,000 tonnes of plastic waste in nine specialist facilities around the world and produces 150,000 tonnes of circular polymers.
SUEZ is a founding member of the international Alliance to End Plastic Waste, and part of Thailand’s Public Private Partnership for Sustainable Plastic and Waste Management (Thai PPP Plastics) to collaborate with stakeholders to help protect the ocean and conserve the environment.
