What is Pet?

We take responsibility for your products like our own.

DESCRIPTION

Smart PET Packaging for a Sustainable Tomorrow

PET is polyethylene terephthalate. Its a plastic resin and the most common type of polyester. Two monomers–modified ethylene glycol and purified terephthalic acid–are combined to form the polymer called polyethylene terephthalate. PET was discovered and patented in England 1941.
 
PET is the plastic labeled with the #1 code. Many beverages, food items and other consumer products are delivered in bottles or packages made from PET. The #1 code is usually found on or near the bottom of the container.
PET makes good packages for food and non-food items. Manufacturers like it because it’s safe, strong, transparent and versatile. Customers choose it for its safety, light weight, resealability, shatter-resistance and recyclability. The material can be recycled again and again.
 
PET can be recycled into many new products. It’s used to make new bottles, but recycled PET can also be made into fiber for carpets; fabric for t-shirts or fleece jackets; fiberfill for sleeping bags, winter coats, and dog beds; industrial strapping; sheet and thermoformed (clam shell) packaging; and automotive parts such as headliners, bumpers, and door panels.

What we offer

Bringing a creative way of packaging.

History of PET Bottles

The PET bottle was patented in 1973 by chemist Nathaniel Wyeth, the brother of renowned American painter Andrew Wyeth. Just a few years later, in 1977, the first PET bottle was successfully recycled, marking a milestone in sustainable packaging.

Recycling Programs in the United States

In the United States, recycling efforts for PET plastics have expanded significantly. Currently, there are approximately 7,700 curbside collection programs and 10,000 drop-off programs actively collecting PET bottles for recycling. These initiatives play a critical role in reducing waste and promoting sustainability.

Impact of Weight Reduction

Since 1978, manufacturers have made significant strides in reducing the environmental footprint of PET bottles. The weight of a two-liter bottle has decreased by 29%, going from 68 grams to just 48 grams. This reduction not only conserves resources but also lowers transportation costs and emissions.

Environmental Benefits

Recycling PET containers offers numerous environmental advantages. For instance, recycling a ton of PET bottles saves approximately 7.4 cubic yards of landfill space. Moreover, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that recycling just one pound of PET can save around 12,000 BTUs of energy, showcasing its importance in energy conservation.

Usage and Recycling Statistics

The widespread use of PET bottles is evident in everyday households. In 2005 alone, the average household consumed about 42 pounds of PET plastic bottles. Interestingly, custom PET bottles, which are used for products beyond carbonated soft drinks, now account for 62% of all PET bottles available for recycling, reflecting their growing versatility and adoption.

Smart PET Packaging for a Sustainable Tomorrow

PET contains no phthalates. Phthalates (i.e., phthalate ester plasticizers or orthophthalates) are not used in PET, nor is PET a phthalate. 
 
PET contains no dioxins and dioxins can’t be produced when a PET container is heated, microwaved or frozen (common urban myths).
 
PET itself is biologically inert if ingested, is dermally
safe during handling, and is not a hazard if inhaled,
according to the International Life Sciences Institute
Report “Packaging Materials 1. Polyethylene Terephthalate
PET for Food Packaging Applications” (2000)
