Parkes project: PET plastic depolymerization recycling in France
Three companies with expertise in waste management and recycling decided to join forces for this project: SUEZ RV France, Loop Industries and SK Geo Centric & SK Functional Polymer. Parkes project involves the preparation of plastics and recycling by depolymerization of Polyethylene terephtalate (PET) at Saint-Avold, France.
The PARKES project should enable the creation of a unit dedicated to the recycling of plastics, in a logic of territorial loop, in order to provide a virtuous industrial solution in support of the ambitions of the Grand Est Region in terms of circular economy.

SKFP’s 3R strategy
Reduce plastic usage
- Reduce packaging weight
- Down-gauging in multi-layer film (PE, EVOH…)
- Use more bio-sourced or recycled raw materials
Replace materials that are harmful to environment and humans
- Replace aluminum by recyclable barrier solutions (metallization, EVOH…)
- Replace PET by MDO PE
- Replace PVC by HFFR compounds in industrial applications
Recycle plastic waste and develop easy-recyclable products
- Develop PE & PP monomaterial packaging for easy-recycling
- Boost performance of Post-Consumer and Post-Industrial Waste
- Design blends of mixed recycled plastics using compatibilizers
