Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) - Scrap Material

Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) scrap material originates from post-industrial or post-consumer sources such as beverage bottles, food containers, and packaging films. Retaining the durability, clarity, and chemical resistance of virgin PET, this material is highly valued in recycling processes aimed at reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainable production. Once sorted, cleaned, and shredded into flakes, PET scrap is reprocessed into new materials through melt filtration and pelletizing. The resulting recycled PET (rPET) is commonly used in fiber production for textiles, thermoformed packaging, plastic strapping, and sheet extrusion. With strong mechanical properties, low gas permeability, and full recyclability, PET scrap supports circular economy initiatives by enabling the continuous reuse of plastic resources while minimizing environmental impact. Its combination of strength, transparency, and sustainability ensures PET scrap remains an essential feedstock in modern recycling industries.
