The recycling process removes labels, caps, contaminants, and moisture to produce high-quality PET flakes or recycled PET (rPET) pellets. These materials are widely used in fiber production, sheet extrusion, strapping, and food-grade packaging applications. A modern PET recycling line typically includes sorting systems, label removers, shredders, washing units, dewatering equipment, and drying systems.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><strong><b>Introduction<\/b><\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) is one of the most widely recycled plastics in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Used primarily for beverage bottles and food packaging, PET offers excellent recyclability and can be processed multiple times when proper recycling technologies are applied.<\/p>\n<p>As global demand for recycled plastics continues to increase, PET recycling has become a critical component of the circular economy.<\/p>\n<ol><\/ol>\n<p><!-- \/divi:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_5,3_5&#8243;
