PET Bottle to Bottle Recycling
| Artenius PET- Packaging Europe (APPE) led the processes of recycling PET packs with its technologies for producing SuperCycle™ and Nu-Cycle™ from resins. SuperCycle ™ is produced through a process of solid state polymerisation (SSP), which converts a foodstuff quality PET bottle, equivalent to virgin resin. Nu-Cicle™ is a material of a slightly lower grade for non-foodstuff uses, such as bands and fibres. The APPE recycling plant in Beaune (France) has a production capacity of 25,000 tons of resin granules of over 31,000 tons of post-consumption PET, which is equivalent to approximately 700 million PET bottles – 17,000 tons of which are SuperCycle™, thus opening up excellent opportunities for PET Bottle-to-Bottle (B2B) recycling for the main manufacturers. The advanced PET recycling technology allows both types of PET, single and multi layer, in amber and other colours as well as transparent, to be recycled efficiently and consistently, which facilitates the mixed collection of PET waste.
