Partners

One of the most distinctive features characteristic of AmberCycle Industries will be its unique customer base and partners. As a supplier of constitutive chemicals to municipal and corporate entities for integration into commercial products, it is of utmost importance that we foster stable and secure relationships with firms in order to further develop and expand our process and product portfolio.

There is a clear desire for companies to integrate more cost effective and environmentally sustainable products into individual process streams, which signifies increasing importance on companies such as AmberCycle that can develop new solutions to significant problems.

Through the Plant PET Technology Initiative, major firms including CocaCola, Nike, Ford, Heinz and Procter & Gamble are partnering with The World Wildlife Fund to pro-actively encourage development of green and renewable materials that will also meet their economic, supply, and performance requirements.

Likewise, the Solar Disinfection (SODIS) Initiative highlights further expansion, as The World Health Organisation (WHO), UNICEF, and the Red Cross strive to promote clean water purification devices through the use of cost-effective PET bottles.
