Recycled PET Chips (rPET Chips)

Recycled PET chips (rPET chips) are pelletized feedstock made from recycled plastic waste, including PET flakes, polyester yarns, thermoformed scrap, and bottle scrap. These pet chip materials provide consistent melt properties and are used across textiles, extrusion, thermoforming, and non-food packaging—and, when properly processed and certified, in selected food-contact applications.

Key Features of Pet Chip

Consistent Pellets

Engineered for stable extrusion and molding.

Multiple Grades

Textile grade, bottle grade, sheet/thermoforming grade.

Sustainable Option

Lower carbon footprint versus virgin resin when sourced from recycled bottles.

Quality Control

Melt flow and intrinsic viscosity (IV) controlled per customer spec.

Common Applications of Pet Chip

Polyester Yarns & Filament

For textile industry applications.

Carpets & Upholstery

Non-woven applications.

Sheet Extrusion

PET sheets and thermoformed products.

Injection Molding

High-quality industrial and textile grade pet chip

Food-Contact & Certification Note

Recycled pet chip can be used in food packaging only if produced through validated recycling processes and supported with regulatory approvals or declarations (FDA/EFSA/FSSAI etc.). If you require food-grade rPET, always request recycling process documentation and third-party test reports.

Packaging & Delivery

Packed in 25kg bags or big-bag options, bulk recommendations depend on quantity and destination. Always store pet chip in sealed, dry conditions to maintain quality and prevent contamination.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a pet chip used for?
A: A pet chip is used in textiles, packaging films, thermoforming, PET straps, and extrusion applications due to its consistent melt strength and durability.
Q: Can recycled pet chip be used for food-grade applications?
A: Yes, but only when the pet chip is produced through certified food-grade recycling processes and supported with regulatory approvals like FDA, EFSA, or FSSAI.
Q: How should pet chip be stored?
A: Pet chip should be stored in dry, sealed bags or big-bags to avoid moisture absorption and maintain processing quality.
