Clean Manufacturing and Closed Loop Production

Move to 100% Renewable Energy

As of 2020, APR uses 100% renewable energy to power our VSF production, whereas we relied on purchased coal for 10% of our energy needs in 2019. APR purchases our energy from PT Riau Prima Energi(RPE), our sister company with multi-fuel and chemical recovery boilers that can supply more than 100% of our energy needs. We calculate our total energy needs using a mass balance approach based on the energy required to produce one tonne of VSF.

In 2021, we will be installing solar panels at our integrated mill complex that will supply 1% of our energy needs when fully operational.

Our approach

We will champion clean and closed loop production, supporting Indonesia’s textile industry shift to a low carbon economy.

In our operations, we are committed to a 50% reduction in water use and to reduce waste-to-landfill by 80% through investments in closed-loop production and recycling, and by achieving a greater than 95% sulphur recovery rate investing in solutions to improve process efficiency and recovery systems by 2030.

Our commitments

95% + Sulphur recovery by 2030

50% reduction in water usage by 2030

80% reduction in solid waste-to-landfill by 2023
