The PET bottle recycling company JSC (AS) ITERUM, a part of the largest environmental resource management and recycling group in the Baltics, AS Eco Baltia, has made changes to its Management Board. Liene Upeniece, an experienced financial and strategic management professional, has joined the Board and take over the responsibilities of the outgoing Board member and Chief Financial Officer, Matīss Leitis.

JSC ITERUM, one of the leading Northern European PET bottle recycling companies and part of the environmental resource management and recycling group JSC Eco Baltia, has signed the Mission Zero Charter. This step demonstrates the company’s commitment to continue to improve the working environment and to build a sustainable safety-based culture at all levels of the organisation.

Recycling of plastics plays a major role in the achievement of the European Union (EU) Green Deal objective, and Member States have to cope with increasingly stricter regulatory framework. In order to promote the use of recycled materials and sustainability of plastic bottle production, pursuant to the legislation, PET bottles must currently contain at least 25% recycled plastic and at least 30% of recycled material must be incorporated in all plastic beverage bottles by 2030.

Polymer processing company JSC “ITERUM” has received platinum assessment in the Sustainability Index Assessment 2024 organised by the Institute for Corporate Sustainability and Accountability. Four companies of “Eco Baltia” Group applied for participation in the assessment, and all four received awards.
