Going green

One of Resilux’s main ambitions is to create sustainable PET solutions for a cleaner planet. As part of this we are introducing solar energy to some plants. Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy which Resilux depends on.

Today, three solar projects have been approved: Patra (Greece), Lajkovac (Serbia) and Wetteren (Belgium). By the end of September, our first plant (Serbia) will be operational. The solar panels in Greece should come online in the coming weeks, and the Belgian ones should be operational in the beginning of 2023.
