RPET: The future of food-grade environmentally friendly plastics

In the depths of the vast ocean, a silent tragedy is playing, leading to the death of countless innocent creatures. On the beach, garbage fills up the snow-like cover, forming a shocking “garbage mountain”. This is not only the destruction of nature but also a huge hatred of mankind towards the earth.

What was once fresh water is now dyed a deep black by countless plastic waste. The beautiful underwater world has become a tomb of plastic, and countless creatures have lost their chance of survival by accidentally eating plastic. The ocean is the cradle of life on the planet, yet we have become a graveyard for plastic.

Approaching the beach, we seemed to have stepped into ruins. The beach is devastated, and pieces of discarded plastic pieces form a sad picture. The fluttering plastic bags danced like ghosts in the sea breeze, an ouch to the past. The waves crash on the beach, bringing more plastic and destroying the beauty of the earth again and again.

We are not telling a horror story, it is truth.

According to one report from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) 2021, Plastics make up 85% of marine litter and it warns that the amount of plastic pollution flowing into the ocean will nearly triple by 2040, to an additional 23-37 million tonnes per year. This means there are approximately 50 kilograms of plastic per meter of coastline globally.

All this calls for our thinking and reminds us that we have to face up to the pollution crisis that the earth is facing. We can no longer remain indifferent as we watch this beautiful planet being gradually swallowed up by plastic pollution. It is urgent to call on and advocate for people to pay attention to the concept of a green, environmentally friendly, and recyclable lifestyle. We urgently need to find sustainable solutions, especially when it comes to the production and use of plastics. RPET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate), as an environmentally friendly food-grade plastic, provides us with a feasible way out.

What is RPET Plastic

The letter ‘R’ in RPET stands for ‘recycled’. It’s a new material made from recycled PET. The manufacturing process of RPET is to convert waste plastic into usable raw materials through a series of steps such as sorting, recycling, melting, and reprocessing.

RPET Plastic is widely used across many sectors as it is seen as the most commonly used material today, such as packaging materials, textiles, construction materials, electronic products, automotive interiors, tableware containers, etc.

Compared with traditional plastics, RPET is derived from recycled materials, reducing carbon emissions and the amount of landfills. It is more environmentally friendly and can effectively reduce the burden on the environment.

RPET plastic can be identified by the resin code often placed at the bottom of a product. Look out for a triangle with a 1 in the middle. 

Market Analysis of RPET

Global environmental awareness is gradually rising, with consumers showing an increasing concern for environmental issues. This trend has led companies to search for more eco-friendly production materials.

As individuals realize the impact of their shopping choices on the environment, consumers are more inclined to choose products made from sustainable and environmentally friendly materials. The demand for sustainable materials has increased accordingly, and RPET, with its eco-friendly and recyclable properties, aligns well with this growing trend.
