Press release for K Trade Fair

Aloxe invests 50 million euros to become the independent European leader in Recycled PET

At this K Trade Fair 2022, Aloxe announces €50 million investments in PET recycling in the 3 countries where it is already established (France, Poland, Italy). With 120 000 tons of capacity in Europe, Aloxe becomes the independent European leader in recycled PET.

50 million euros investment in 3 countries

Opening of a new plant in France in April 2023 with a capacity of 35 000 tons and an additional capacity of 20 000 tons already planned.

Development of its capacity in Poland with an additional 40 000 tons of extrusion capacity starting spring 2024.

Ramp-up of its Italian plant.

After the acquisition of Loreco Plast Recyclage (France) in 2021 and Elcen (Poland) in August 2022, Aloxe has just completed a third acquisition in Italy.

In a market driven by European regulation (25% recycled content in beverage bottle in 2025, 30% in 2030) the needs of the beverage industry are tremendous. And such industries as food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical or home and personal care are also committing on recycled content.

A sizeable challenge that Aloxe is now able to meet, with production sites in France, Poland and Italy, head-on to respond to this growing demand.

« We aim to partner with leading FMCG’s and plastic packaging manufacturing companies to supply them with high-quality recycled PET; we will continue to work to support them achieve their ambitious sustainable packaging goals » said Arnaud Piroëlle, Aloxe’s Executive Director.
