PET Bottle Flakes into Polyester Yarn Mumbai: Dr. Amarasinghe said that BPPL is planning to invest around Rs.1-1.5 billion in another state-of-the-art yarn production plant at the same premises expanding production to meet local as well as to meet export demand. Meanwhile, BPPL expects to double the used PET bottle collection to 400 tonnes per month within the next 12 months. According to Dr. Amarasinghe, BPPL collects nearly 200-250 tonnes of PET waste amounting to approximately 20 percent virgin PET imports into Sri Lanka. The polyester yarn plant is also equipped to produce recycled yarn, which is considered a niche segment with a good growth potential. The facility will manufacture polyester yarn from recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) bottle flakes. BPPL also had earlier invested in Rs.200 million bottle- washing plant at the same premises and it has also installed a water treatment plant where used water is treated and re-used with only 5 percent of water being discharged. According to the latest BPPL annual report, it had secured a term loan to the value of Rs.536.34 million from HSBC and another to the tune of Rs 40.65 million from HNB for the yarn plant and machinery. Dr. Amarasinghe said the newly launched polyester yarn production plant can produce 15 percent of the polyester yarn demanded by the local apparel industry. However, with the yarn plant in the pipeline, he said BPPL will significantly increase yarn production for the local apparel sector in future. By sourcing polyester yarn from Sri Lanka, fabric manufacturers can significantly reduce lead times and also lower inventory costs. According to BPPL, the polyester yarn of 10 recycled PET bottles is sufficient to make a t-shirt. The BPPL has targeted the fabric mills of industry leaders such as MAS, Hirdaramani, Brandix as well as Hayleys while it is also looking at exporting to countries such as Taiwan. A wholly owned subsidiary of BPPL Holdings Ltd (BPPL), Eco Spindles, inaugurated Sri Lanka’s first ever polyester yarn plant at Horana Export Processing Zone with a Rs.800 million investment.
