The '''recoSTAR PET''' series is designed for the recycling of post-consumer bottle flakes after the washing process as well as for the in-house recycling of PET flakes from bottles, preforms, strapping bands and sheets. The end product is always melt-filtrated, uniform granulate that can be used for a wide range of applications.

PET has an important economic advantage: it can be “upcycled”. What comes out of the recycling process can be a better quality PET than what went in. In order for rPET to meet the high intrinsic viscosity (IV) required for strapping bands, it undergoes a solid state polycondensation (SSP) process. | PET has an important economic advantage: it can be “upcycled”.
