Our project team of ALBA Tridi Plastics Recycling Plant hosted the first management site visit since contract award at the project site in Kendal, Central Java. Vincent Cheng – CTO of Alba Tridi Plastics Recycling Indonesia, Viza Ramadhani – Technical Director of PT. Meinhardt Indonesia, David Schweinzer – Starlinger, and Antoine De Winter – Operation Director of PT. Decorient Partaya Indonesia joined the site visit.

During the site visit, Decorient presented the progress on site which is currently on schedule. Moreover, Decorient also produced a 3D model projection which visualized forecast progress for the next 3 months. The project will fully utilize BIM in the engineering process. As Main Contractor, Decorient’s scope of works includes Structural, Architectural, MEP and External works.

The new plastic recycling facility of which the construction is scheduled to be completed in Q3 2024, will house state-of-the-art equipment capable of processing PET beverage bottles and transforming them into high-quality rPET flakes and food-grade rPET pellets. The advanced technology comes from leading equipment manufacturers in Asia and Europe and can produce approximately 36,000 tons of recycled PET annually, including food-grade recycled PET.

To fulfill its production capacity of 36,000 tons, the factory will require approximately 48,000 tons of waste PET bottles each year. These bottles will primarily be collected in Java and the region, and ALBA will actively work with, and support local collectors providing this feedstock. The project will also generate new employment opportunities within the region in various technical and administrative roles recruited from within the local area.
