Although 100% recycled PET would seem to be the ideal solution, there must balance between the sustainability of the product and the resources of recycled PET raw material globally .
Based on this, we suggest a recycled content of 30% in keeping with EU regulations and also other national legislations on recycled plastic packaging. However, we’d be happy to discuss other percentages of recycled content on a project basis.
Also to consider here is the discolouration of the PET which varies depending upon how much recycled content is added and can also vary from one batch to another. However, today’s consumers are becoming increasingly used to seeing this discolouration on their retail products making it an indicator of your commitment to more sustainable packaging.
