Kuwait Metals and Manufacturing Company signed a plastic waste management agreement with Equate Petrochemical Company (Equate), under which Metals will manage and recycle the plastic waste generated by Equate’s industrial operations, in line with both parties’ commitment to enhancing environmental sustainability and optimizing resource use in Kuwait’s industrial sector.
The agreement includes the provision of 20 dedicated containers for collecting this waste at Equate’s facilities, which will be periodically transported to Metals’ facilities for sorting, processing, and recycling in accordance with the highest environmental standards.
Metals leads Kuwait’s plastic recycling sector, maintaining its leadership by supplying a wide range of plastic raw materials to numerous local and international plastic converters. The company works closely with its clients to understand and meet their specific needs, and takes pride in offering an extensive selection of high-quality, medium-grade, and low-grade industrial-grade virgin and recycled plastic granules.
Metals collaborates with several petrochemical plants to process and prepare scrap and non-specification plastics, leveraging extensive transportation capabilities and specialized machinery for washing plastic scrap, thereby ensuring the highest levels of quality and value for the products it supplies.
On his part, Tariq Al-Mousa, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Metals, stated: “Industrial sustainability is at the core of our company’s operations, as we strive to enable our clients and partners to achieve a balance between operational activities, environmental impact, and social responsibility, whether through the waste management and recycling solutions we provide or by leveraging our advanced facilities to support environmental and industrial initiatives. Today, we are pleased to partner with Equate and support its efforts in managing and recycling the plastic waste generated by its industrial operations.”
