rPET films

We offer rPET films made from 25% and up to 100% post-consumer recycled PET (rPET). Our rigid rPET films are ideal for responsible packaging. With full food approval, they can be used in any food market. All our rPET film properties with requested customization are fully compatible with standard thermoforming, Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) applications and can completely substitute virgin materials.

Our films are a type of plastic film made from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic. PET is a common type of plastic used for packaging, especially for bottles, containers, and food packaging. Recycling PET plastic to create rPET films is an eco-friendly approach to reduce plastic waste and the environmental impact associated with the production of new plastic materials.

Here’s what rPET films are used for:

1. Packaging: those films are commonly used in various packaging applications, including:
   • Food Packaging: They are used for packaging food products such as salads, sandwiches, bakery items, and more. The transparency and barrier properties of rPET films make them suitable for displaying and preserving food.
   • Beverage Packaging: rPET can be used for shrink sleeves or labels on PET bottles, giving a second life to PET plastic.
   • Non-Food Packaging: They are also used for non-food items like cosmetics, personal care products, and household goods.
2. Consumer Goods: rPET can be used in the manufacturing of consumer goods such as stationery, folders, and packaging for electronic devices.
3. Textiles: Some rPET are used in the textile industry for applications like labels and tags.
4. Promotional Materials: They are sometimes used for promotional materials like banners, posters, and displays.

The primary advantage of using rPET is their reduced environmental impact compared to films made from virgin (new) plastics. By recycling PET plastic into films, it helps to divert plastic waste from landfills and reduce the demand for new plastic production, conserving natural resources and reducing energy consumption. Additionally, rPET films typically have similar properties to virgin PET films, making them a viable and sustainable alternative for many packaging and product applications.
