How are PET bottles recycled?
PET bottles are made from one of the few polymers that can be recycled into the same shape as a new drink bottle over and over again. This step can neatly close the recycling loop and become a 'cradle to cradle' packaging solution.
Produced into many new products
Like virgin PET, recycled PET (rPET) can be used to make many new products, including polyester staple fibers or filaments used for clothing (clothing), home textiles (blankets, pillows, carpets), automotive parts (carpets, sound insulation) , boot linings, seat covers) and industrial goods (geotextiles and roof insulation), and new PET packaging and bottles for food and non-food products. It is generally mixed in the virgin PET ratio for recycling, depending on the required application.
