The Power of rPET: From Waste to Worth
Unlike virgin plastics that rely on fossil fuels, rPET is derived from both post-consumer and post-industrial recycled PET. This includes everyday items such as water bottles and clear food containers, as well as offcuts and scrap material generated during PET production processes. These are collected, sorted, and repurposed to create a sustainable material with second-life potential. Zibo’ s 100 % rPET punnet range gives this material new purpose- one that is food-safe, fully recyclable, and crucially, circular in its lifecycle.
What truly sets Zibo apart is its in-house recycling plant, a facility that enables the company to close the loop on PET usage. While many packaging manufacturers depend on external recycling sources, Zibo takes full control of the process- from raw recycled flake to finished food-grade sheet. This internal ecosystem ensures tighter quality control, greater traceability, and a more reliable supply of rPET material.
