SIG extends carton recycling scheme to five more Indonesian regions

SIG has expanded its Recycle for Good used-carton collection programme in Indonesia beyond Jakarta into Surabaya, Malang, East Java, West Nusa Tenggara and Bali, the company said on 21 September 2026. The network now spans 389 collection points, up from 200 in Jakarta previously, and SIG is upgrading pulping equipment with partner Eco-Paper to process more used beverage cartons.

Why this mattersWider collection and pulping capacity strengthens SIG's circularity claims and could help beverage-carton customers meet extended producer responsibility rules in Southeast Asia.
