The document discusses plastic recycling codes, challenges in plastic recycling, and a CSR model for plastic recycling implemented by AQUA in Indonesia. It provides information on resin identification codes, the types of plastics commonly used in packaging like PET and HDPE, recycling processes, and AQUA's PEDULI program which empowers scavengers to collect plastic bottles and partners with communities and NGOs to establish recycling units.

3. PLASTIC IDENTIFICATION CODE

4. Resin Identification Coding System is a set of symbols placed on plastics to identify the polymer type. It was developed by the Society of the Plastics Industry (SPI) in 1988. Primary purpose of the codes is to allow efficient separation of different polymer types for recycling . The symbols used in the code consist of arrows that cycle clockwise to form a rounded triangle and enclosing a number, often with an acronym representing the plastic below the triangle. When the number is omitted, the symbol is known as the universal Recycling Symbol , indicating generic recyclable materials. In this case, other text and labels are used to indicate the material(s) used. The number not indicate how hard the item is to recycle , nor how often the plastic was recycled . It is an arbitrary number and has no other meaning aside from identifying the specific plastic .

6. Recycle Plastic

7. PET BOTTLE & POLYESTER Most synthetic fibers (approximately 70%) are made from polyester, and the polyester most often used in textiles is polyethylene terephthalate (PET) . The majority of the world’s PET production – about 60% – is used to make fibers for textiles; about 30% is used to make bottles. It’s estimated that it takes about 104 million barrels of oil for PET production each year – that’s 70 million barrels just to produce the virgin polyester used in fabrics. The reason recycled polyester (often written rPET) is considered a green option in textiles today is twofold, and the argument goes like this: Saving energy (33% to 53% less energy than produce from virgin) Estimate at 54.6% fewer CO2 emissions Keeping bottles and other plastics out of the landfills.

8. Fun Facts About PET First PET bottle was recycled in 1977 FACTS about PET: Recycling 1 ton of PET bottles saves 7.4 cubic yards of landfill space It takes 5 recycled two-liter PET bottles to make one square foot of carpet. PET bottles and containers are actually a form of polyester, which is why it is so easy to recycle bottles into T-shirts, sweaters and socks. It takes 35 two-liter recycled PET bottles to make the soft filling inside a sleeping bag, called “fiberfill.” Plastic makes up 8% of our trash by weight, but is 24% of the volume Source: EASTMAN NAPCOR (National Association for PET Container Resources), www.napcor.com/PET/funfacts.html

9. Recycling means ….. What is required for “ Bottle to Bottle”

10. Steps for BTB Super Cleaning Process Baled Bottle Flake Collection/ Sorting GrindingWashing VACUREMA BTB Pellet Flake

11. Involved parties…. Collection company Recycler Preform producer Beverage Industry Government – Institutes…. Consumer

12. Target for the “BTB” Recycling No differences for the consumer Performance of the bottle Colour, black spots, taste ….. No risk for the consumer and the industry No differences for the preform production Economic sense

13. Parameters for end product Physical parameters I V , AA, Colour , pellet, filtration, .... Normally not tasted/approved by the government Chemical Cleaness - Decontamination Normally done only with Challenge and Migration test Depends only on the cleaning effect of the system

14. Required from preform producer IV increase - depending on beverage Normally yes because in the long term “closed loop” can`t work Melt filtration Normally yes, because of black spots request, metal, glas, silicon issue.. Pellet Normally yes, otherwise invest for prefrom producer requested

15. Request for Chemical Cleanness Absolute no risk for consumer – no taste change…. “ Super cleaning process” has to show the decontamination by a Challenge Test The migration has to be inside the legislation

16. CSR MODEL

17. 1 Februari 1993: AQUA launched PEDULI Program PEDULI = PE ngembangan D aur U lang LI mbah = waste recycling development

19. AQUA bottles Recycling Recycling PET Study in Bandung, ITB, 2008 600 ml Cups Mizone Key Findings PET, PP: 85-99% recycled Scavengers poor social condition Social Study on 60 scavengers

20. Kind of plastic waste

21. Pellet Plastic in Recycling Industries

22. Empower Scavengers and prepare sustainable RPET sourcing Objective: support innovative social business to Create value on PP caps Empower scavengers (water access, health, education…) Sustain PET flakes Supply (quality, quantity) Plan: revitalize AQUA PEDULI initiative through 4 parties partnerships Waste management bill (Act no 18/2008) - Article #15 The producer oblige to manage the packaging of their product and/or their product which are unable or difficult to be decompose. Packaging management means drawing back packaging for the purpose of recycle or reuse AQUA SUPPLIER SCAVENGERS COMMUNITIES NGO REMINDER 1 st pilot unit in Bandung (Q4 09) 5 to 10 units in 2010-2011 Danone Eco Fund for investment
