India's packaging industry is forecast to reach $92 billion by FY30. However, analyst views on EPL remain mixed, with some issuing 'Sell' ratings despite attractive valuations. IVL has reported losses over the trailing twelve months but anticipates recovery by 2026.
Indorama Ventures, Nigerian Breweries and Genesis Energy partner to develop one of Africa's largest rPET production facilities. 13 March 2026 10:19 Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited, a global sustainable chemical company, together with Nigerian Breweries Plc, the foremost brewer in Nigeria, and Genesis Power & Energy Solutions Ltd, a leading African clean energy infrastructure development and asset management company, have entered a strategic partnership to establish one of Africa's largest state- of-the-art recycled PET (rPET) production facilities in Nigeria, based on planned production capacity. The landmark collaboration marks a significant step toward strengthening circular economy infrastructure and sustainable packaging value chains across the region. Located in Lagos, the site represents an investment to develop a facility capable of producing up to 45,000 tons of food-grade rPET resin annually, with start-up targeted in the first half of 2027. By converting post-consumer PET bottles into high-quality recycled material for packaging applications, the initiative aims to meet fast-rising demand for recycled content, reduce plastic waste, and create local value through improved collection systems, job creation, and increased participation across the recycling value chain. The partnership brings together complementary strengths across the PET value chain. Indorama Ventures, the world's largest recycler of PET for beverages, contributes expertise in sustainable materials development. Nigerian Breweries, a Heineken operating company, provides strong local market insight and engagement across Nigeria's beverage ecosystem, while Genesis Energy supports the initiative with sustainable infrastructure and energy expertise. The project is expected to support recycling capacity in Nigeria, subject to regulatory approvals, technical validation, and operational implementation. Together, the partners aim to establish commercially viable rPET operations that enable responsible growth and long- term environmental impact. This initiative aligns with Nigeria's National Policy on Plastic Waste Management, introduced in 2020 to strengthen collection, recycling, and circular economy solutions, with the goal that all plastic packaging be recyclable, biodegradable, compostable, or reusable by 2030. Lagos, as Nigeria's commercial hub, provides a strategic base to develop recycling infrastructure capable of serving both national and regional demand. Commenting on the landmark partnership, Yash Lohia, Executive President of Petchem and Chairman of ESG Council at Indorama Ventures, said, "This partnership marks a defining milestone in our global recycling journey. By establishing our largest recycling facility to date and one of the largest rPET sites in Africa, we are bringing Indorama Ventures' global expertise, proven technologies, and long-term vision for circularity to a region with immense growth potential. This investment reflects our belief that scaling sustainability solutions locally is essential to building resilient, sustainable packaging systems that deliver lasting environmental and economic value." With a global recycling footprint spanning 20 facilities across 11 countries, Indorama Ventures has recycled more than 160 billion post-consumer PET bottles into high-quality recycled materials. The Nigeria facility represents the company's first recycling investment in Africa and the largest recycling plant IndoramaVentures has ever built, underscoring the scale of the company's long-term commitment to circular infrastructure, advanced recycling technology, and partnerships that strengthen collection, education, and innovation across the value chain. Genesis Energy supports the partnership by enabling sustainable infrastructure and energy solutions that underpin low carbon industrial development and circular economy systems across Africa. The companyoperates across 11 African countries, with utility-scale generation projects of more than 780MW in operations, ongoing construction, and advanced development in Nigeria, South Africa, Benin Republic, Zambia, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Mali and United Kingdom, as well as a project development pipeline north of 4.5GW. It deploys solar, wind, battery storage, and natural gas solutions, and is pursuing an ambition to allocate up to $2 billion annually over the next five years, with a targeted 10 GW of installed and contracted capacity. Speaking on the partnership, Chairman and CEO of Genesis Energy, Mr. Akinwole II Omoboriowo, said, "This compelling initiative demonstrates Genesis' commitments to deploying capital to climate resilient investments by leveraging clean energy as a strategic nexus to advancing viable economic opportunities. The investment is also a testament to how cross-sector partnerships can enable sustainable industrial development. By combining circular economy principles with resilient infrastructure and energy solutions, the initiative supports long-term environmental impact and local value creation." Beyond industrial investment, the project is expected to contribute to broader environmental and socio- economic objectives through increased PET collection, diverted plastic waste away from landfill, and sustained engagement with local communities to promote best practices in waste collection and recycling. The signing of the partnership agreement represents the first milestone in a longer-term development roadmap and reflects a shared commitment by the partners to invest responsibly, support sustainable packaging solutions, and contribute to Nigeria's transition toward a more circular and resource-efficient economy.

If realised as proposed, this would be Indorama Ventures' first such investment on the African continent and its largest recycling operation globally. The company currently operates 20 recycling facilities in 11 countries. Apart from industrial aims, the partners say the venture could support environmental goals by diverting more plastic waste from landfills and encouraging local community involvement in waste collection and recycling. Indorama Ventures Petchem executive president and ESG Council chairman Yash Lohia said: "This partnership marks a defining milestone in its global recycling journey. By establishing its largest recycling facility to date and one of the largest rPET sites in Africa, Packaging-gateway is bringing Indorama Ventures' global expertise, proven technologies, and long-term vision for circularity to a region with immense growth potential. "This investment reflects our belief that scaling sustainability solutions locally is essential to building resilient, sustainable packaging systems that deliver lasting environmental and economic value." Last month, Indorama Ventures collaborated with AMB Spa to develop a multilayer PET tray for food packaging, using recycled PET flakes at its core and virgin PET on outer layers.
Nigerian Breweries, Indorama launch rpet project to boost circular packaging economy. Nigerian Breweries Plc is expanding its sustainability push with a strategic investment in a new food-grade plastics recycling facility in Ogun State, a move aimed at strengthening Nigeria's circular packaging economy and securing a future supply of recycled materials for the beverage industry. The brewer disclosed in a notice to the Nigerian Exchange Limited that it will partner with Indorama Ventures Recycling Solutions Limited to establish a polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) recycling plant in the state. Under the arrangement, Nigerian Breweries will hold a 29 per cent minority equity stake in the project, while operational control and management will remain with the project's promoters. The recycling facility will be developed through Indorama Ventures Recycling Solutions Limited, a special purpose vehicle created to develop, own and operate the plant. The initiative is part of a collaboration involving Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited as the majority investor and Genesis Energy Group as another minority partner. The planned facility will focus on producing food-grade recycled PET (rPET), a material widely used in beverage bottles and other consumer packaging. Indorama Ventures is globally recognised as one of the world's leading recyclers of PET materials used in beverage containers, while Genesis Energy Group is expected to provide expertise in sustainable infrastructure and energy systems required for the project's development. For Nigerian Breweries, the investment forms part of a long-term strategy to embed sustainability into its supply chain while supporting the growth of Nigeria's recycling industry. The brewer said the initiative aligns with its environmental commitments and supports implementation of the National Policy on Plastic Waste Management, which encourages the recovery and reuse of plastic materials to reduce environmental pollution. Beyond environmental goals, the project is expected to help ensure a reliable domestic supply of recycled PET for packaging, reducing reliance on imported materials while strengthening Nigeria's local recycling value chain.

If completed, the facility would mark a significant step toward building large-scale recycling infrastructure in Nigeria, where plastic waste management remains a growing environmental challenge. Financial turnaround supports expansion The sustainability investment also comes at a time when Nigerian Breweries is reporting a strong recovery in its financial performance after a challenging period marked by foreign exchange losses. The company posted a pretax profit of about N69.9 billion in the first quarter of 2025, reversing a pretax loss of N65.5 billion recorded in the corresponding period of 2024. Discover more Businessamlive Media BusinessAMLive The turnaround was driven largely by strong revenue growth and a sharp reduction in foreign exchange-related losses. Quarterly revenue rose 69 per cent to N383.6 billion from N227.1 billion a year earlier, while gross profit more than doubled to N166.5 billion as improved operational performance offset higher production and distribution costs. Momentum continued into the second quarter of the year, with the brewer posting pretax profit of about N43.9 billion, bringing total pretax profit for the first half of 2025 to N88.4 billion. Revenue for the six-month period reached N738.1 billion, representing a 54 per cent year-on-year increase. By the end of the nine months to September 2025, Nigerian Breweries reported revenue of about N1.04 trillion and pretax profit of N129.4 billion, reflecting a significant recovery from the losses recorded in the previous year.
