Sustainable Value Creation

SUSTAINABILITY & IMPACT

For EKT, circularity is an operating model rather than a stand-alone sustainability activity. By creating industrial demand for recovered materials, EKT helps connect collection activity with formal processing, manufacturing and end markets.

4 Pillars of Impact

Environmental Impact

  • EKT’s recycling operations recover post-consumer PET and return it to productive use.
  • The company continues to strengthen environmental controls,
  • resource efficiency,
  • responsible material handling
  • and monitoring as operations expand.

Employment & Inclusion

  • EKT employs more than 420 people directly with women representing approximately 80% of the workforce.
  • The wider recycling model also supports collectors, aggregators, transporters, suppliers and other participants across the value chain.

Skills & Capacity building

  • Local value creation from recovered materials
  • Potential substitution of imported virgin materials in suitable applications
  • Industrial development across collection, logistics, processing and manufacturing
  • Creation of domestic markets for recycled materials

Responsible Growth

  • As EKT expands, the company intends to combine industrial growth
  • with stronger environmental management,
  • occupational health and safety,
  • responsible sourcing, quality assurance and measurable social impact.
Environment, Safety & Responsible Operations

Operating responsibly at every stage.
