- In order to give birth to a new product, used PET containers must first be properly disposed of by companies or individuals for recycling collection.
- The collected PET bottles are then sent to a sorting plant where objects are separated according to
their materials. Recovered PET bottles are compacted into a bundle and are sent to a reclaimer – the factory that turns used bottles into PET flakes. - The first thing the reclaimer has to do is de-bale the bundles and re-sort the material to make sure the final product will be as pure as possible. The de-baled bundles are then pre-washed and shredded into flakes. The flakes are again washed, dried, and then stocked and sold.
- The real recycling starts when the solid flakes, the raw material, are used to manufacture a new product. Recycled PET bottles can be turned into polyester fibers, which are used as a base for products such as fleece coats, clothing, pillows and carpets. PET can also be recycled back into new, single-serve PET bottles that are convenient, safe and recyclable.
- Recycling is an important step towards improving the environment and reducing our carbon footprint. Facts on PET encourages you to recycle all eligible products at home, in the office and throughout your community. We urge you to share this information with family, friends and community leaders to spark discussions about the importance of environmental sustainability through better municipal recycling services and consumer practices. What we do today will have a lasting impact on generations to come.
