Why is Recycling PET Bottles Important?

Recycling PET bottles is crucial for environmental conservation. PET bottles, a predominant form of plastic waste, can take centuries to degrade in landfills. By recycling these materials, we reduce landfill waste and conserve natural resources by diminishing the need for virgin materials. Moreover, producing new plastics from recycled materials consumes significantly less energy, saving enough from a single recycled bottle to power a 60-watt bulb for about three hours. This not only helps in protecting the environment but also opens up substantial business opportunities.

Aceretech's PET Bottle Recycling Solutions

Aceretech offers a comprehensive solution for recycling PET bottles through its fully automated turnkey systems. These systems efficiently process used PET bottles into clean PET sheets, which are highly sought after by manufacturers of polyester fibers and other PET products. This streamlined process supports the recycling industry by transforming waste into valuable resources, thereby promoting a sustainable business model.

The ACS series from Aceretech is specifically designed to recycle PET bottle flakes, BOPET films, and polyester filaments into high-quality PET pellets. This line features a compactor with unique crystallization and drying capabilities, a gentle melt process in the single-screw extruder, a robust vacuum degassing system, and an advanced fully automatic strand pelletizer that eliminates the need for manual adjustments. The system also includes a pellet drying setup, ensuring the production of dry, market-ready pellets with a throughput of up to 1 ton per hour.

Aceretech Bottle to Bottle Recycling System Can Produce rPET Pellets That Meet the Requirements of the US FDA for Food Contact Materials

Aceretech's Achievement: FDA Certification for rPET

Recently, Aceretech has achieved a significant milestone by obtaining a No Objection Letter (NOL) from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its recycled PET (rPET). This certification confirms that Aceretech's recycling process and equipment are suitable for producing food-grade, closed-loop regenerated PET. This achievement not only highlights Aceretech's expertise in the field of plastic recycling but also enhances its reputation as a leader in providing eco-friendly solutions to the plastic recycling industry.

Impact of FDA's Regulation on Recycled Plastics

The FDA plays a crucial role in regulating recycled plastics used in food-contact applications. With increasing consumer demand for sustainable use of plastics, major brands are setting ambitious goals to incorporate recycled materials in their packaging. The FDA's approval of Aceretech’s rPET process for food-contact packaging signifies a positive step towards wider acceptance and use of recycled plastics in the food industry, promoting environmental sustainability and responsible plastic management.

By obtaining the FDA's No Objection Letter, Aceretech not only proves the safety and quality of its recycled PET but also sets a benchmark for the recycling industry to follow. This approval is expected to encourage more companies to invest in recycling technologies and contribute to reducing plastic waste in our environment.

ACERETECH is not only committed to providing high-quality PET food-grade solutions, but we also have extensive experience to help your product apply for and obtain food-grade certification from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
