With the NEO GROUP core business of PET resins, we value that it is an easily and commonly recycled material, with all elements of NEO GROUP products fully recyclable. While its main raw material is derived from petroleum, PET is widely considered to be among the most environmentally favourable packaging materials.

NEO GROUP’s Fast Reheat (FR) PET resins production is also strongly contributing to our sustainability focus. With ecological characteristics including savings on energy and carbon emissions for our customers’ production process and an improved blow moulding technique, our NEOPET FR products are smart and effective.

NEO GROUP works together with our national and multinational customers abnd suppliers to ensure that we are supporting their sustainability goals. By maintaining a focus on environmental performance across all our activities, customers can be sure that working with NEO GROUP and choosing NEOPET and NEOPOLYOL is the intelligent choice for today and tomorrow.

Since 2011, NEO GROUP has also produced polyol, under the brand name NEOPOLYOL, which further cements our dedication to sustainability across our business. This strategic expansion into the chemical recycling of PET waste allows us to provide a complete solution that is both responsible and reliable. NEOPOLYOL is particularly suited to applications across the construction industry, with demand also coming from the other polyurethane applications as footwear and automotive.

NEO GROUP is proud to be an active part of the National Renewable Energy Resource Development Implementation plan, which has a strong focus on renewable energy development in Lithuania. Our company contributes to Directive 2009/28/EC, which is dedicated to the reduction of the country’s dependence on imported fossil fuels by ensuring the reliability of its supply. This is achieved in a number of tangible ways, most notably with the construction and implementation of our own biofuel heater, which has decreased our consumption of natural gas by around 70% and also considerably decreased our CO2 emissions from 40,000 tonnes in 2013 to 12,000 tonnes in 2016. NEO GROUP is also strongly supporting this Directive through the utilisation of local biofuel resources and creating new jobs.

We are also working with the international sustainability project SYMBIOPTIMA, with the collective goal of improving the overall sustainability of industrial processes from an economic, environmental and social perspective. Find out more about SYMBIOPTIMA at
