Asia Pacific Rayon (APR), Indonesia’s largest integrated viscose rayon producer, has launched its ten-year sustainability vision, APR2030. The vision is based on four pillars of commitments, focused around positive impacts on climate and nature, clean manufacturing, circularity, and inclusive communities. These commitments are supported by 19 specific targets to be achieved by 2030.
The key highlights of the agenda include:
• 20% recycled textile content in our viscose staple fiber (VSF) production.
• Net zero emissions from land-use through vertical integration with primary supplier APRIL and halve APR’s product carbon intensity per tonne of VSF production.
• In alliance with APRIL, help eradicate extreme poverty within a 50-km radius of the company’s operations.
Support conservation and wildlife habitat protection in Indonesia.
The APR2030 is committed to positively impacting climate and nature, clean manufacturing, circularity, and inclusive communities and are aligned with the 10 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals most relevant to APR’s business.
Basrie Kamba, Director, Asia Pacific Rayon, said, “As part of APR2030 implementation, we will pioneer textile waste recycling in Indonesia, from establishing the collection, sorting, and logistics infrastructure needed to ensuring textile wastes do not end up in landfills”.
