Grounded’s 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) rPET thermoforming film comes in multiple thicknesses and is ideal for applications in both food and consumer goods. It is compatible with all automated thermoforming machinery. PET is the most widely recycled plastic, with common sources like water bottles serving as feedstock. rPET is versatile, often used in polyester clothing, rigid plastics, and even foam.
- Recycled PET is relatively abundant and affordable, and as such it makes for an easy alternative for businesses looking to move away from virgin plastic
- It has a considerably lower carbon footprint compared to virgin PET
- Transitioning to recycled materials has a positive effect across the wider recycling economy as it creates demand for recycled content where historically there has been none
- The recycling industry is a critical part of any functioning circular economy and by increasing demand for recycled materials, it fuels the development of critical waste management infrastructure
- Due to its inert nature, if PET ends up in landfills it reforms into biogenic carbon over time, instead of generating greenhouse gas emissions.
- Raw material quality can be variable, due to the nature of recycling systems. This can result in a slightly speckled texture and at times can lead to the material being slightly more brittle
- It is not biodegradable or compostable, and if it ends up in the environment it is likely to be there for many years before turning into biogenic carbon
