Complies Avangard Mexico, a company dedicated to the collection and commercialization of post-consumption plastic waste, which in a short time became the principal collector of this type
of material in Latin America.
In collaboration with the national bottling industry, Jaime Cámara participates in the design of ECOCE, being Avangard the operator arm of collection of ECOCE.

of food-grade, high-quality recycled resin annually. Also the plant was inaugurated, with Enrique Peña Nieto present in his capacity as governor of the state of Mexico.
At the end of 2011 PetStar’s shareholder participation was acquired largely by the Coca-Cola Bottling System, leaders to Arca Continental the second largest Coca-Cola bottler in Latin America. This is the birth of the commitment to expand the plant with the construction of a second phase.
The first stone was placed in the expansion of our plant with participation by Eruviel Ávila Villegas, governor of the state of Mexico.
By the end of 2013 the expansion of the plant, together with the PetStar Museum-Auditorium, was finalized with a capacity to recycle 65,000 tons of post consumption bottles and convert them into 50,000 tons of food grade recycled resin annually to be consumed by our shareholders, which made us the largest food grade PET recycling plant in the world, a fact validated by the prestigious British firm, PCI (PET Packaging Resin & Recycling Limited). governor of the state of Mexico.
In June 2014 a ceremony was held to inaugurate the museum auditorium with the participation by Enrique Peña Nieto in his role as president of Mexico. In that same year, Mexico was recognized as the only county to reach the goal of achieving a recycled content of over 25% in PET containers, according to Coca-Cola’s global Sustainability Report
Bottlers in the Coca-Cola system, PetStar shareholders, were able to incorporate into their containers the equivalent of 35% of recycled resin, a percentage superior to the 25% percent goal set by the Coca-Cola Company for that year.
PetStar wins the National Award for highest quality recognition in Mexico in quality and innovation.
