We recycle -
Post-consumer PET products into (food-grade) R-PET chips
and flakes
PET in packaging applications is becoming increasingly
popular for the beverage, food, cosmetic and other industries.
From 2000 to
2005 worldwide PET consumption increased by nearly 100%.
On the other hand,
tons of used PET bottles end up in waste deposits. And these waste deposits will
grow day by day.
Therefore plastic recycling has taken on an important role
in most countries worldwide. What used to be regarded as "waste"
is now seen as a "secondary raw material".
The plastic PET is the forward-looking raw material for your products and many different markets.
SCHOELLER
PLAST INDUSTRIES develops and produces raw material for the plastic industry by
recycling post-consumer PET bottles.
The
patented SSP process deploys the following process steps when upgrading a cleaned
PET flake:
• Extrusion
• Granulation
• Crystallisation
• Post-condensation
The final product is a food-grade PET granulate which can be
adjusted batch by batch to customer needs, in particular to the IV (intrinsic viscosity) level required by most variable types of customers that somehow manipulate
PET materials. Our unique technology guarantees a product with a constant level
of quality and which can be used for the production of new preforms, food packaging,
technical yarns or other applications in a mixture with virgin material of up
to 100%.

Growth of PET
Worldwide, approximately 1.5 million tons of PET are collected per year.
Petcore, the European trade association that fosters the collection and recycling
of PET, forecasts that in Europe alone, collection will exceed one million tons
by 2010.
