The First Waste to Energy PET Bottle Recycling Plant in Taiwan



To reduce air pollution and to seek alternative approaches amid the lack of incinerator capacity, OGM has constructed heat recovery boilers to fulfill its mission of sustainable development. It is also the first PET bottle recycling plant in Taiwan to construct a waste-to-energy (WtE) facility. The project commenced in June 2020 and is schedule to be completed in 2022 for production. The thermal energy produced may replace the use of natural gas boilers.
Once completed, the boilers could incinerate 7,280 metric tons of waste materials, including plastics and organic sludge. The thermal energy generated during incineration could replace the use of natural gas as the fuel source, which is projected to help avoid 1,547 tCO2e of carbon emission from natural gas per year.
