PET Flakes

Hot-Washed PET Flakes

Hot-washed PET flakes are clean, shredded fragments made from post-consumer PET bottles after debaling, label removal, sorting, hot washing, drying, and packing. These flakes are ready for direct recycling into PET straps, PET sheets, and pellets, making them ideal for industrial use and highly demanded by global pet flakes buyers.

Quality & Food-Contact Note

Hot-washed PET flakes are commonly used as feedstock for non-food applications. Food-grade rPET requires validated recycling processes and regulatory clearance. If you need flakes for food-contact uses, ensure they come from a certified food-grade recycling stream so the final product meets all guidelines — especially important for pet flakes buyers seeking compliant materials.

Packaging & Logistics

Stored in dry, sealed bags or bulk containers. We recommend humidity-controlled storage to prevent moisture pickup. Typical dispatch is done in 20ft / 40ft containers for bulk orders, ensuring reliable supply for pet flakes buyers.
