How Plastic Companies Can Contribute to the Environment?
When it comes to the environmental effects, most forms of plastic tend to have a negative stigma towards it. The increasing number of plastic companies has reached up to 390.7 million metric tons in production volume worldwide in 2021. Does this mean that our home is in danger of too much plastic being produced and consumed each year?
Looking from a positive perspective, there has also been a rise in the market value of plastic recycling worldwide. In 2021, global plastic recycling was estimated at about 39.6 billion U.S. dollars. This market was forecast to grow at a CAGR of 7% from 2022, to reach 78 billion dollars in 2031.
Not to mention, plastic production companies don’t always utilize petrol as their resource to do business. Besides, imported or local plastic waste has always been a staple raw material in producing recycled plastic.
Here in Mitra Utama Plastindo Indonesia, we value our habitat as much as you do. Even better, we always try to offer the best products without neglecting the environmental damage that might have been caused. Luckily, there are several more points to why Mitra Utama Plastindo is excellent at handling plastic waste:
80% of Raw Materials Used are Plastic Waste
Mitra Utama Plastindo is committed to reducing plastic waste on our planet by endorsing the use of high-quality recycled plastic. This type of plastic is now the core product manufactured by our company.
Processing System for Hazardous and Toxic Raw Materials
In Indonesia, companies must have a processing system to handle B3 waste. This type of waste is commonly called hazardous and toxic waste of raw materials. In Mitra Utama Plastindo, we specifically are committed to making a circular economy possible. We create end-to-end solutions to reuse materials to continue production in a sustainable manner.
We always prioritize our business process to become environmentally friendly.
Putting Energy Efficiency First
Wasting electricity doesn’t just impact a business’s carbon neutrality and emissions levels, but also organizational costs too. As a result, many manufacturers are looking to optimize energy usage across both their production processes and wider business. PT. Mitra Utama Plastindo optimizes energy usage by using LED lighting to save more and turning energy-consuming machines off seldom.
Moving to a circular economy model, we also reduce the amount of raw materials that are ending up in landfills.
Besides, glass that are commonly seen as jars for baby food produces 25% more greenhouse gas emissions than plastic. Moreover, the production of plastic bottles uses 46% fewer greenhouse gasses and 55% less energy than glass bottles. Other types of materials besides plastic might cause worse damage to our habitat through greenhouse gas. Renewable energy is the way to go as companies are going through an industrial revolution.
Therefore, Mitra Utama Plastindo strives to maximize the resources collected from waste and give it another life.
To summarize, there is an increasing trend of plastic companies in the world. Burning fossil fuels is no longer the core way since it affects global temperatures. Plastic manufacturers including PT. Mitra Utama Plastindo aims to reduce carbon footprint to lower global warming potentials. Eventually, we hope to contribute to creating a better home to live in for human activities.
