EcoBlend vPET/rPET blend for food grade applications

POLYMETRIX EcoBlend™ rPET technology produces preblended PET pellets consisting of virgin PET and recycled PET. After the CP process, the rPET melt flow from an on-site extrusion system is mixed with the melt of virgin PET. Alternatively, vPET pellets can be blended with rPET pellets directly after pelletizing. A blend of rPET and vPET is conveyed to the SSP and treated simultaneously.

The SSP output is thus equal to the CP plant capacity plus the added rPET capacity. The rPET content in the material can be up to 50%. The EcoBlendTM technology can be installed in a new plant or as an extension to an existing PET production plant. The CP plant remains unchanged in the case of an extension. The SSP plant is upgraded to the new material composition and the increase of total capacity.
