RPET Sheet/film – Recycled PET Film & Rigid Sheet for Sustainable Packaging
What is RPET?
RPET (Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate) is a sustainable material made from post-consumer PET waste—mainly beverage bottles and other PET packaging.By collecting, cleaning, melting, and re-processing these used PET products, RPET sheets offer the same core performance as virgin PET while significantly reducing environmental impact.
RPET plays a vital role in the circular economy and has become one of the most valuable recycled polyester materials in the global packaging industry.
How RPET Roll/Sheets Are Made?
The production process generally includes:
1. Collection & Sorting – Gathering used PET bottles and containers.
2. Washing & Decontamination – Removing labels, adhesives, and impurities.
3. Flake Processing – Crushing the bottles into washed PET flakes.
4. Pelletizing – Melting the flakes and forming recycled PET pellets.
5. Sheet Extrusion – Extruding the pellets into APET/RPET film, rigid sheet, or thermoforming-grade sheet.
This process ensures high levels of purity, clarity, and mechanical stability, making RPET suitable for food and industrial applications.
Key Features of RPET Roll/Sheet
• High transparency & clarity – Comparable to virgin PET.
• Excellent mechanical strength – High impact resistance and tensile strength.
• Good thermoforming performance – Suitable for deep-draw thermoforming.
• Stable thickness & smooth surface – Ideal for high-precision packaging.
• Superior barrier properties – Good resistance to oxygen and moisture.
• Environmentally friendly – Reduces waste and lowers carbon emissions.
• Food-contact grade available – FDA- and EU-compliant options depending on customer requirements.
• GRS-certified material available – Ensures traceability and sustainability.

Applications of RPET Roll/Sheet
1. Food Packaging
• Fruit and vegetable trays
• Meat and seafood trays
• Blister packs
• Clamshell containers
• Take-away food boxes
2. Consumer & Industrial Packaging
• Folding boxes
• High-clarity blister packaging
• Electronics packaging
• Cosmetic and personal-care packaging
• Medical device blister packs
3. Printing & Display
• Transparent display cards
• Protective covers and shields
• Stationery and folders
RPET is widely used in supermarkets, retail packaging, thermoforming plants, and environmentally friendly packaging industries.
Why Choose RPET?
✔ Environmentally Friendly
Using RPET helps reduce plastic waste and supports global sustainability goals. It lowers the consumption of virgin fossil-based materials and significantly decreases carbon emissions during production.
✔ Cost-Effective Material
Compared with virgin PET, RPET offers competitive pricing while maintaining similar performance properties.
✔ High-Performance Packaging
RPET is durable, rigid, hygienic, and safe for food contact applications. Its clarity and formability make it ideal for high-end transparent packaging.
✔ Meets Global Recycling & Sustainability Regulations
RPET sheets support regulatory requirements in Europe, North America, and other regions where recycled content is encouraged or required in packaging.
Market Trends
With increasing environmental regulations, brand sustainability commitments, and consumer demand for greener packaging, RPET sheet usage is rapidly expanding. It is considered one of the fastest-growing materials in the recycled plastics sector, especially in thermoforming and food packaging industries.
