rPET Innovation

rPET, or recycled polyethylene terephthalate, is an innovative trend in the world of sustainable packaging. It is obtained by recycling post-consumer PET bottles, transforming them into new, high-quality products. This process not only helps reduce the amount of plastic waste in the environment, but also conserves natural resources by reducing the need to produce virgin plastic.

Benefits and Trends of rPET

Adoption of rPET is growing rapidly due to its multiple environmental and economic benefits:

Sustainability: The use of rPET contributes significantly to the reduction of plastic waste and the promotion of the circular economy.
Energy Savings : Producing rPET requires less energy than virgin plastic, which helps reduce carbon emissions.
High Demand : Companies across a variety of sectors, including food and beverage, textiles and packaging, are opting for rPET due to its durability and lower environmental impact.
Quality and Safety: Our rPET big bags are suitable for contact with food, complying with the most demanding safety and quality standards.

rPET Recycling Process

Recycling PET into rPET involves several key steps:

Collection and Sorting: PET bottles are collected and sorted by color and plastic type. The bottles are washed to remove residue and contaminants.
Cleaning: Clean bottles are crushed into small fragments or pellets.
Melting and Extrusion: The fragments are melted and extruded to form new fibers and packaging materials.
Production: Recycled material is used to make new products, such as our big bags.

This process ensures that rPET products are of high quality and suitable for various industrial applications.
