Help To Accelerate PET Plastic Recycling
Today, most types of plastic are not recyclable — only plastics #1, #2, and #5 are widely recycled. Each family of plastics requires different processes. Even within a single plastic type, different melting points for specific types of packaging means they cannot be mixed. For example, PET bottles and PET thermoform clamshell packaging, although made […]
Virgin VS Recycled Plastics? What are the advantages and disadvantages?
What does post-consumer recycling (PCR) really mean? Why should we use it? What are the benefits of using PCR plastics over virgin plastics? Today, we’ll answer all of these questions and provide insight into the pros and cons, energy efficiency and environmental impact of virgin versus recycled plastics. Virgin plastics are new resins produced directly […]
The world‘s most useful plastics (PET and polyester)
Polyethylene terephthalate (PETE or PET) is the world’s most commonly used thermoplastic polymer, known in the textile industry by the trade name “polyester”. It is a naturally clear, semi-crystalline plastic that is widely used as a garment fiber, an effective moisture barrier, widely used in bottling and packaging (in these cases called PET or “PET […]
What is PETG?
Durable. Virtually unbreakable. Affordable. Polyethylene terephthalate, commonly referred to as PETG or PET-G, is a thermoplastic polyester with remarkable chemical resistance, durability and excellent manufacturing moldability. Because of its low molding temperature, PETG can be easily vacuum and pressure molded as well as heat bent. This makes it very popular for consumer and commercial applications […]
Is there a difference between PET/APET/PETG?
There is no difference between PET and APET plastic. PET is a polyester, chemically known as polyethylene terephthalate. PET can be made from polymers arranged in two main ways; amorphous or crystalline. In fact, with one major exception, everything you touch is amorphous. Microwave food trays, when made from PET, are made from C-PET (crystalline […]
How to choose the right plastic for your thermoformed packaging?
PET or PETE (polyethylene terephthalate) can also be referred to as polyester. PET has excellent strength, toughness, dimensional stability, clarity and abrasion resistance. PET is rapidly becoming the material of choice due to its ease of recycling and widespread use in the food and beverage industry. Geo supports our partners’ green initiatives and offers rPET […]
Little Known Facts about PET Plastics
PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is actually polyester. When PET is used in bottles, containers and other applications, it is called PET or PET resin. When PET is used as a fiber, it is often referred to as polyester. The PET bottle was invented by Nathaniel C. Wyeth, a DuPont engineer and brother of American painter Andrew […]
Plastic Recycling to Rebuild to PET / PP /HIPS Sheet or Roll
International closed-cycle project establishes second plastic waste recycling facility in Ghana Since 2020, the Alliance to Eliminate Plastic Waste has partnered with the ASASE Foundation to provide technical expertise and financial support to expand operations more than 100-fold, from an initial capacity of 35 tons per year to 4,000 metric tons, with a further increase […]
Basic Definition of PET Plastic
The Basic Definition of PET Plastics Before we discuss the ins and outs of PET plastic, you may want to know what PET plastic stands for. PET is short for its chemical name: polyethylene terephthalate. PET is often abbreviated as PETE, PETG, APET, PETP or PET-P. Similar to tissue paper, which is often called “Kleenex,” […]
