Recycled PET use in hot-fill bottles has no significant impact: Study

摘要

The study concludes that converters and brand owners can use up to 50% good quality rPET in hot-fill bottles without negatively impacting performance. The use of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) in hot-fill packages has no significant adverse impact on the bottles until the blend exceeds 50 percent, according to a research study conducted by Plastic Technologies Inc (PTI).
