What is Post-Consumer PET?
Polyethylene terephthalate is a thermoplastic resin suitable for extrusion, blow molding and thermoforming of items used in various sectors.
It can come in amorphous (transparent) or semi-crystalline (opaque and white) form, has good electrical properties, chemical resistance, high temperature performance and self-extinguishing.
A raw material that is among the most recyclable ever since it is not normally coupled with other materials during production and is easily treatable from the point of view of regeneration.
Through certified plants it is possible to reuse PET as a recycled raw material in the food sector.
The recycled PET comes in the form of granules or grinded according to the use that must be made of it and is classified by viscosity and by colors.
In the rMIX recycling portal you can find PET, which is the polymer par excellence with which water and soft drink bottles and food trays that contain the products we find in stores are produced.
