\u201cPlastics help to raise living standards around the world, including in Indonesia, given their critical use in agriculture, food packaging, medical equipment and more,\u201d said Dave Andrew<\/strong> of ExxonMobil. \u201cLeveraging new technologies and the expertise of our combined organizations, we can accelerate a circular economy for plastics in the region, so that more plastics can be turned into new products instead of ending up in the environment.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cIndomobil Prima Energi is committed in realizing a circular economy to create a better sustainable future,\u201d said Gerry Kertowidjojo,<\/strong> president director of IPE. \u201cThis initiative is a collective notion that calls for action and synergy from all stakeholders to play a role as part of a responsible society.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cIndonesia and the Asia Pacific region is an area of the world that is greatly impacted by plastic waste,\u201d said Carlos Monreal<\/strong>, founder and CEO of Plastic Energy. \u201cWith this MoU with ExxonMobil and Indomobil Prima Energi, we aim to utilize our unique and patented advanced recycling technology to provide a solution for recycling plastic waste in Indonesia, helping to curb plastic waste and promote a more circular economy for plastics.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

ExxonMobil plans to build approximately 500,000 metric tons of advanced recycling capacity at its integrated manufacturing facilities around the world by year-end 2026, including in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia Pacific. At its facility in Baytown, Texas, ExxonMobil has processed more than 6,700 metric tons of plastic waste since startup up in 2021 and is on track to complete large-scale expansion of the facility by the end of this year. ExxonMobil has also signed a memorandum of understanding to assess large-scale implementation of advanced recycling in Malaysia and is collaborating with Plastic Energy on an advanced recycling plant in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PT Indomobil Prima Energi is a subsidiary of Indomobil Group, which has numerous distributorships, plant facilities, as well as thousands of retail fuel stations. By leveraging IPE\u2019s network and access to local communities, IPE aims to make a difference through the implementation of advanced plastic
recycling technology in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plastic Energy has two commercial recycling plants in Spain, which use its patented TAC\u2122 process to treat plastics that normally cannot be mechanically recycled, converting them into a feedstock called TACOIL\u2122, used to create virgin-quality plastics. Plastic Energy has several plants under construction in Europe, including a 25,000 metric ton capacity plant in France and an offtake collaboration agreement with ExxonMobil, and an MoU for a new advanced recycling project in Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
