Through the recycling of waste plastic, materials are reintroduced into the production cycle, achieving a “resource-product-waste-recycled resource” loop that prolongs plastic lifespan and effectively reduces the need for landfill and incineration. By recycling plastics, greenhouse gas emissions are decreased, contributing to the mitigation of climate change. As the plastic recycling industry advances, it paves the way for new technologies, plastic, and industries, promoting green innovation. However, with increased plastic recycling comes the critical task of addressing the wastewater treatment during the plastic recycling process.

In response to the PET industry’s quest to increase recycled content by producing high-quality rPET flakes for high-end applications, BoReTech has leveraged its 30 years of experience in recycled polyester industry and developed a total solution for plastic recycling, endeavoring to be a global pioneer in plastic recycling ingenuity.

In Asia, the rPET industry is gradually emerging and has received support and attention from the governments. With the increasing global emphasis on environmental protection and commitment to sustainable development, the widespread use of rPET can help reduce plastic waste in landfills and the demand for virgin polyester. Some of Asia governments have adopted a series of policy measures to promote the development of the rPET industry, including environmental regulations, incentives, awareness raising, and international cooperation.

In Vietnam, the rPET industry is gradually emerging and has received support and attention from the government. With the increasing global emphasis on environmental protection and commitment to sustainable development, the widespread use of rPET can help reduce plastic waste in landfills and the demand for virgin polyester. The Vietnamese government has adopted a series of policy measures to promote the development of the rPET industry, including environmental regulations, incentives, awareness raising, and international cooperation.

PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) plastics are made from plastic waste that has been collected from consumer products and recycled. These plastics are mainly derived from PET bottles, HDPE bottles, and LDPE films. For food-grade waste plastic recycling, PET bottle recycling is a major development trend in the waste plastic recycling industry. The process of recycling and washing PCR plastics involves several steps, including washing, grinding, pelletizing, and SSP (Solid State Polymerization) to produce food-grade recycled flakes and pellets that meet FDA or EFSA certification.
