Due to availability and properties, PET bottle flakes have manifold applications. The largest amount is used for the production of fibres, filaments and nonwovens. Adding PET flakes when recycling production waste is a possibility to increase the viscosity of the rPET pellets. Finest melt filtration is available; use of up to 100 % rPET pellets possible. | Due to availability and properties, PET bottle flakes have manifold applications.

PET flakes are also a valuable secondary resource for strapping bands, which can be made from up to 100% recycling PET (rPET). In order to meet the high intrinsic viscosity (IV) required, the material undergoes a solid state polycondensation (SSP) process with the Starlinger iV+ technology. | PET flakes are also a valuable secondary resource for strapping bands, which can be made from up to 100% recycling PET (rPET).
