Indorama Ventures, Nigerian Breweries and Genesis Energy Partner to Develop One of Africa’s Largest rPET Production Facilities

Bangkok, Thailand – 12 March 2026 — Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited, a global  sustainable chemical company, together with Nigerian Breweries Plc, the foremost brewer in Nigeria,  and Genesis Power & Energy Solutions Ltd, a leading African clean energy infrastructure development  and asset management company, have entered a strategic partnership to establish one of Africa’s largest  state-of-the-art recycled PET (rPET) production facilities in Nigeria, based on planned production  capacity. The landmark collaboration marks a significant step toward strengthening circular economy  infrastructure and sustainable packaging value chains across the region.  Located in Lagos, the site represents is an investment to develop a facility capable of producing up to  45,000 tons of food‑grade rPET resin annually, with start‑up targeted in the first half of 2027. By  converting post‑consumer PET bottles into high‑quality recycled material for packaging applications, the  initiative aims to meet fast‑rising demand for recycled content, reduce plastic waste, and create local  value through improved collection systems, job creation, and increased participation across the recycling  value chain.   The partnership brings together complementary strengths across the PET value chain. Indorama  Ventures, the world’s largest recycler of PET for beverages, contributes expertise in sustainable materials  development. Nigerian Breweries, a Heineken operating company, provides strong local market insight  and engagement across Nigeria’s beverage ecosystem, while Genesis Energy supports the initiative with  sustainable infrastructure and energy expertise. The project is expected to support recycling capacity in  Nigeria, subject to regulatory approvals, technical validation, and operational implementation. Together,  the partners aim to establish commercially viable rPET operations that enable responsible growth and  long-term environmental impact.  This initiative aligns with Nigeria’s National Policy on Plastic Waste Management, introduced in 2020 to  strengthen collection, recycling, and circular economy solutions, with the goal that all plastic packaging be  recyclable, biodegradable, compostable, or reusable by 2030. Lagos, as Nigeria’s commercial hub,  provides a strategic base to develop recycling infrastructure capable of serving both national and regional  demand.  Commenting on the landmark partnership, Yash Lohia, Executive President of Petchem and  Chairman of ESG Council at Indorama Ventures, said, “This partnership marks a defining milestone in  our global recycling journey. By establishing our largest recycling facility to date and one of the largest  rPET sites in Africa, we are bringing Indorama Ventures’ global expertise, proven technologies, and long- term vision for circularity to a region with immense growth potential. This investment reflects our belief  that scaling sustainability solutions locally is essential to building resilient, sustainable packaging systems  that deliver lasting environmental and economic value.”   With a global recycling footprint spanning 20 facilities across 11 countries, Indorama Ventures has  recycled more than 160 billion postconsumer PET bottles into high-quality recycled materials. The Nigeria  facility represents the company’s first recycling investment in Africa and the largest recycling plant  Indorama Ventures has ever built, underscoring the scale of the company’s long-term commitment to  circular infrastructure, advanced recycling technology, and partnerships that strengthen collection,  education, and innovation across the value chain.  Genesis Energy supports the partnership by enabling sustainable infrastructure and energy solutions that  underpin low carbon industrial development and circular economy systems across Africa. The company  operates across 11 African countries, with utility-scale generation projects of more than 780MW in  operations, ongoing construction, and advanced development in Nigeria, South Africa, Benin Republic,  Zambia, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Mali and United Kingdom, as well as a project development pipeline north  of 4.5GW. It deploys solar, wind, battery storage, and natural gas solutions, and is pursuing an ambition  to allocate up to $2 billion annually over the next five years, with a targeted 10 GW of installed and  contracted capacity.   Speaking on the partnership, Chairman and CEO of Genesis Energy, Mr. Akinwole II Omoboriowo,  said, “This compelling initiative demonstrates Genesis’ commitments to deploying capital to climate  resilient investments by leveraging clean energy as a strategic nexus to advancing viable economic  opportunities. The investment is also a testament to how cross-sector partnerships can enable  sustainable industrial development. By combining circular economy principles with resilient infrastructure  and energy solutions, the initiative supports long-term environmental impact and local value creation.”   Beyond industrial investment, the project is expected to contribute to broader environmental and socio- economic objectives through increased PET collection, diverted plastic waste away from landfill, and  […]
