PET Plastic Waste
The recovery of waste Polyethylene Terephthalate polymer resins or more commonly referred to
as PET Plastic Scrap is a widely recycled material.
While there are several
grades
of PET Plastic resins,
from the recycling industry aspect we encounter PET Plastic wastes in two main forms,
solid or hard plastics and as a textile fiber waste.
Other than some additional requirements for material handling of
flexible filament fibers the recycling of fibers or solid plastics
is fundamentally the same. The recycling procedure involves 3 stages of material processing,
scrap,
regrind
and
repro.
PET Plastic Scrap
The first stage of the recycling process is the segregation of
PET Plastic Scrap into uniform grades
and the removal of any foreign materials or contamination.
The scrap material may be bundled or baled to facilitate transportation or material handling.
PET Plastic Regrind
The second stage of the recycling process is reducing various sizes and shapes of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) scraps into a
uniform granule or
PET Regrind
suitable for blending and as an extruder feedstock.
PET regrind is often referred to as flake.
PET Plastic Repro
The next stage of the recycling process is reprocessing the regrind into a resin pellet or compound with
specific technical specifications, colour, fillers etc.
The
PET Plastic Repro
becomes a raw feedstock in the manufacturing process worldwide.
PET Bottle Recycling
If you wish to recycle
PET Bottle Scrap
ADD your own inquiry to connect directly with buyers & sellers.
Scrap PET bottles like those accumulated from municipal
curbside recycling
programs are sent to
PET recovery processing operations where the bottles are
granulated,
washed and the foreign materials or contamination is removed.
The clean bottle flake becomes a raw feedstock for PET plastic
reprocessing,
some PET bottle flake is converted directly into
PET filament fibre.
One common use of regenerated PET fiber is in the manufacturing of carpets.
PET Carpet Fiber Recovery
The process of recycling
carpet scrap
liberates the PET face fiber which is sorted from other materials contained in the carpet.
The segragated PET/
Polyester fibers may be recoverd in the same fashion as any other
PET scrap.
If you wish to deal in recovered
PET Carpet Fiber
please ADD your own inquiry to connect with waiting buyers & sellers.
PET Film Scrap

PET Film Scrap
please ADD an inquiry to the PET Recycling exchange.
