PET Recycling & rPET: Sustainable Solutions for Industrial Plastics — by Seraphim Plastics
Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) is one of the most ubiquitous plastics—everywhere from beverage bottles to thermoformed packaging. But what happens when industries accumulate post‑consumer PET (pc‑PET) waste? At Seraphim Plastics, we help businesses maximize value, minimize waste, and support the circular economy through efficient PET recycling services.
Why PET Recycling Matters
-
PET’s global recycling rate has surged, with approximately 33 % of PET bottles recycled in the U.S. in 2023, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and landfill load.
-
The eco-benefits are clear: rPET (recycled PET) has a carbon footprint up to 79 % lower than virgin PET—dropping from around 2.5 kg CO₂/kg to just 0.45 kg CO₂/kg
-
Energy and water consumption also decline—rPET production requires significantly less energy and water than producing virgin PET
