We trade and produce PET Flakes and Recycled PET (rPET) resin pellets all over the world from our head office in Purmerend, The Netherlands.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has become the most favourable material world-wide for packaging. The reason for this development is the excellent material properties of the PET material, especially its unbreakability and the very low weight of the bottles compared to glass bottles of the same filling volume. In comparison to other packaging polymers, PET has also a high clarity as well as good barrier properties towards moisture and oxygen. As a consequence, PET has mainly substituted glass as packaging material, but also metal cans. PET is also used for the packaging in thermoforming, sheet and film industry. Next to this PET is a excellent polymer for the production of fibres.

PET is the perfect polymer for recycling. The main processes used for recycling PET is mechanical recycling. The mechanical recycling process involves several steps which the PET flakes are exposed to different temperatures and mechanical processes which caused contamination, degradation and loss of properties. The quality of the PET raw material for recycling is one of the biggest variable factors for the various contaminant levels present in the PET flake after the mechanical recycling process. Over the world there are many different ways of measuring the quality of the PET flakes after the mechanical recycling. This creates a variable quality and problems in the process of the customer.

At Polymers UpCycling BV we have our inhouse laboratory, all the PET flakes and Recycled PET (rPET) resin pellets that we offer have been quality tested at European measuring standards. With each batch we provide a detailed rapport and assure our customers the quality needed for their application.

Polymers UpCycling BV has the knowledge and state of the art machinery to produce the best quality PET flakes and Recycled PET (rPET) resin pellets, all according to your specifications.

Recycled PET (rPET) can be as good as virgin polyester and its production requires significantly less energy. CO2 emissions are 50%, or even less, compared to regular polyester. We have various Recycled PET (rPET) grades and PET Flakes, from film, fiber to bottle quality. We have the technology inhouse to create batch production according to your specifications.
