Recycled Polymers
Chemically Recycled PET Clear — Chemically Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate Clear
This PET is produced through advanced chemical recycling processes (e.g., glycolysis, methanolysis), breaking down PET into its monomers. This results in a material with properties equivalent to virgin PET, suitable for food-contact applications and high-performance fibers.
