ALTECH NEW MATERIALS CO., LTD. (Fukui Prefecture) a domestic group company of ALTECH CO., LTD. that manufactures preforms used to make beverage PET bottles, installed 640 solar panels on the roof of its first plant and began operating them in August 2023. This will enable the plant to cover a portion of its electricity consumption (projected to be approximately 260,000 kw per year) with renewable energy, leading to a reduction in CO2 emissions. In addition, following the installation of solar panels at Plant 1, we will consider installing solar panels on the roof of Plant 2, which manufactures recycled PET resin, as essential component of the “Bottle to Bottle” initiative.
