Contact SupplierPolyEthylene Terephthalate or PET is a strong, but lightweight form of clear polyester, often used to make containers.
One of the striking features of the material is its recyclability. Post-consumer containers are collected from households and processed to make raw material for new applications.
How PET is Recycled
PET is recycled through mechanical recycling. During mechanical recycling recovered bottles are shredded into flakes. Flakes are subsequently washed and are ready to be used as such or blended with virgin polymer.
It is also possible to break up the polymer molecule into its main raw materials. The final products from this process can be used to manufacture new PET.
