-rPET goals: Indorama puts its money where its mouth is
Thai chemicals company Indorama Ventures is investing 33 billion Baht (EUR 1.35 billion) into the recycling of its PET resin, Reuters has reported.
Indorama creates polymers and fibres used to manufacture plastic bottles, seat belts and tyres. It produced almost five million tonnes of PET in the 12 months to July. The investment will support recycling efforts over the next five years, says chief executive Aloke Lohia.
The funds are meant to cover greenfield and brownfield mergers and acquisitions focusing on bottle-to-bottle recycling. Indorama currently has 11 recycling sites around the world, including plants in Thailand, Mexico and France.

-Oil spills into U.S.-China trade war, prices slump
China said on Friday it would impose tariffs on U.S. crude oil imports for the first time, sending prices down nearly 4% to two-week lows as the escalating bilateral trade war fed worries over a slowdown in global oil demand.
Beijing said crude would be among the U.S. products hit by tariffs of 5% as of Sept. 1. U.S. President Donald Trump responded later in the day saying starting on Oct. 1, the 25-percent tariffs on $250 billion worth of Chinese goods will rise to 30%. Tariffs on remaining $300 billion due to begin on Sept. 1 will now be set at 15%, versus 10%.
-U.S. To “Drown The World” In Oil
The U.S. could “drown the world in oil” over the next decade, which, according to Global Witness, would “spell disaster” for the world’s attempts to address climate change.
The U.S. is set to account for 61 percent of all new oil and gas production over the next decade. A recent report from this organization says that to avoid the worst effects of climate change, “we can’t afford to drill up any oil and gas from new fields anywhere in the world.” This, of course, would quickly cause a global deficit, as the world continues to consume around 100 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil.
