PET Flake Production: An Eco-Friendly and Cost-Effective Approach for Manufacturers
PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is a very durable and versatile plastic that is commonly used to make mineral water bottles, beverage bottles, and more. However, the disposal of large quantities of discarded PET can lead to environmental degradation if not managed properly. Thankfully, PET is recyclable, which provides manufacturers with a sustainable way (PET flake production) to minimize their impact on the environment while also promoting a circular economy.
Why Recycle PET Bottles?
- Environmental Benefits: Reduces demand for virgin plastics, conserving natural resources while reducing landfills and greenhouse gas emissions. Recycled PET bottle flakes are reintroduced into the production process, promoting a circular economy.
- Cost Effectiveness: Reduces waste disposal costs and opens up new revenue streams by allowing companies to sell recycled PET flakes.
- Good recycling properties：PET plastic is a good raw material for recycling due to its own properties, and the finished product obtained after recycling can go directly into the new production line.
The Challenges of PET Bottle Recycling
High contaminant content: PET plastic bottles often come into contact with food, beverages or other chemicals, and any liquid, dirt or grease left inside the bottle can contaminate the material. These contaminants need to be adequately cleaned, otherwise it will reduce the quality of the recycled material and affect the subsequent processing steps.
Labeling and glue residues: PET bottles are usually labeled with plastic or paper labels that are adhered with glue and are difficult to remove completely during cleaning and processing. If labels and glue are not thoroughly cleaned, they may be mixed into the recycled material and affect the quality of the final product.
Plastic degradation: PET plastics degrade after repeated recycling, resulting in a loss of properties, especially changes in mechanical properties and transparency. This degradation limits the scope of use and recycling value of PET recycled materials.
