As a global leader in PET bottle recycling, PetStar processes 5.5 billion bottles annually, producing food-grade recycled resin. The company’s commitment to a circular economy now extends beyond plastic recycling to water conservation and regeneration, working with Veolia to advance its water neutrality goal.
The novel wastewater reuse solutions implemented by Veolia include advanced proprietary technologies such as Densator for rapid sedimentation, ZeeWeed Membrane Bioreactor (MBR), PROflex reverse osmosis process, and Aquaray UV disinfection technology.
Carlos Mendieta, director of Public Affairs, Communications and Sustainability at PetStar Mexico, said: “Partnering with Veolia allows us to go beyond PET. By recycling our processed water we are taking another step towards a circular economy, achieving our water neutral commitments through water conservation, nature regeneration at the Nevado de Toluca, and rainwater harvesting from our green roofs — the four key pillars of our water footprint management.”
Mauro Cruz, head of Water Technologies activities for Veolia in Latin America, said: “For Veolia, partnering with visionary companies like PetStar exemplifies the commitments we have made through our GreenUp strategic program. As their trusted partner in achieving water neutrality, we are demonstrating how the use of innovative technology can harmonize business growth with resource conservation. This collaboration proves that when industry leaders join forces, we can create sustainable solutions that protect our planet's precious water resources while driving operational excellence.”
