SUEZ today announced the official opening of the SUEZ Circular Polymer Plant in Bang Phli, Thailand – the Group’s first plastic recycling plant in Asia. It underscores SUEZ’s ambition to commit to improving the environment and building a more sustainable society despite the unprecedented times we are in due to COVID-19. The plant converts 30,000 tonnes of Thailand’s plastic packaging waste a year into post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic as a long-term solution to the plastic pollution crisis. It also has one of the highest water reuse rates for recycling plants in Thailand at 94%, and avoids 35,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually, equivalent to planting 1.5 million trees.

SUEZ NWS and INVISTA recently signed a 15-year contract to expand their cooperation on hazardous waste disposal services for INVISTA’s 400,000-ton adiponitrile (ADN) project. This is another important example of the customized and localized services that SUEZ offers to key industrial customers around the world. More importantly, this is an embodiment of SUEZ’s firm commitment to a sustainable environment through the implementation of its “Shaping SUEZ 2030” comprehensive strategic plan.

SUEZ has signed a new contract with Manila Water for designing and building a wastewater treatment plant in Metro Manila, the Philippines. The plant will serve the three cities of Mandaluyong, San Juan, and Quezon in the capital region of Metro Manila as part of efforts to reach 100% sewer coverage by 2037.

SUEZ NWS recently signed a number of design, engineering and supply of equipment and technical service contracts worth over RMB 500 million. These contracts include the supply of wastewater treatment equipment and full-process technical services for two chemical parks: Lianyungang of Jiangsu and Yantai of Shandong provinces. They also include the supply of municipal and industrial wastewater treatment equipment and technical services in other provinces like Shaanxi, Sichuan and Inner Mongolia.

SUEZ NWS signed an agreement with its partner of Huaibei city, in Anhui Province, to build and operate a facility specialized in industrial hazardous waste management. Bringing sustainable solutions supportive to the local circular economy, this project will ensure the effective treatment of industrial waste whilst protecting the environment and fostering economic and social development. With a total investment of RMB 950 million, the construction of the project is scheduled to start in the second half of 2020. The completion and commissioning are expected by the end of 2021.
